FOREGROUND PLANTS

Foreground aquarium plants are naturally low-growing aquatic plant species that should ideally be placed at the base of an aquascape, in the front of the midground area. Some of these foreground aquarium plants can also be used as carpeting plants and can be grown into a lush carpet of greenery in the front of a tank.
