| Aquatic plants are used to give the aquarium a realistic
appearance, oxygenate the water, and provide habitat for
fish, especially fry (babies) and for invertebrate species.
Some aquarium fish and invertebrates also eat live
plants. Many commonly-used plant species come from
the rivers of South America.

|
| Plants are a major group of living things (about 300,000
species), including familiar organisms such as trees,
flowers, herbs, and ferns. Aristotle divided all living
things between plants, which generally do not move or
have sensory organs, and animals. In Linnaeus' system,
these became the Kingdoms Vegetabilia (later Plantae) |
