The ultimate recipe for a successful sweet water aquarium (part 4)

The plants

Your plants play a very important role in your aquarium as they literally live of the food and fish wastes!
In other words, thy clean you water and they add oxygen!
Your aim is to introduce to your aquarium many plants that can grow with no external help ( Co2 injection or fertilizers ).
This is not an easy task. 
In order to do so you must have to things in mind.
First your tab water will determine which plants will thrive and which will not.
Second you must know what allelopathy is. In short term this means that plants interact with each other and some plants help others to grow some will kill others and some just don't care.
The only way to find out which goes with which is by keep on planting and see which plants will survive!
My recipe is :
Anuvis Nana
Giant duckweed
Ceratophyllum
The first will defiantly grow well.
The second will grow on the surface of your water and will clean your water, regulate the light that goes into your aquarium and protect and feed new born fish !
The Third will protect new born fish and will act as an antibiotic factor for the fish.

And most important don't let anyone else talk you out of this.
