THIS IS AN ABOVE WATER PLANT. This does not go IN the water.

Got fish that eat plants?   How about putting the plants where the fish can't eat them?!

Enter- Pothos. 

Again- This is not an AQUARIUM plant.  This an ABOVE the aquarium plant. 

Pothos... It has been called "The Easiest houseplant"   So easy, you can stick out outta the back of your fishtank.

Here is how it works and should work for you...

Plants absorbe Nitrates.  (both underwater and above it.)     Plants can absorb Nitrates when THREE conditions are met... it this order. 

1. They have good light.   2. When they have readily available CO2.   3. Readily available nutrients.

ABOVE THE WATER of your aquarium you can knock out 1 and 2.  This is called the "Areal advantage"   Part 3.  The Pothos stuck into the back of your aquarium filter....Sucking out the nitrates.

Pothos is a Marvelous plant for Nitrate Absorption!  It is a FAST Grower so it will be sucking down the nitrates in your tank....FAST.

Just to beat this point home: You have heard of aquaponics? (Lord help me if you haven't)   A large mass of fish live in an area and their poopy water is then pumped to plants who "EAT" the waste and filter the water.

Same concept here only - We aren't going to eating the fish or the Pothos.

NOTE: I hear that Pothos is POISONOUS to cat.  My cat Gogo was too stupid to ever try it....Don't let your cat :)

TRY SOME POTHOS NOW.
