This page brings together freshwater aquarium fish commonly used in planted tanks and aquascapes. You’ll find peaceful community fish, schooling species, and standout fish that add movement and colour to an aquascape.

Each fish guide explains temperament, group size, tank size, and compatibility with plants and other fish. Care needs are kept simple, so you know what works well in a planted aquarium and what to avoid.

This section is made for anyone building or stocking a planted tank. If you’re new, it helps you avoid aggressive or plant-destroying fish. If you’re experienced, it helps you fine-tune fish choices for balance and visual impact.
