In 1995 Dave and Robyn Wilson started a small business called Aquagreen. The aim was to produce a few plants for a local Darwin aquarium Shop. The business is a small licensed Aquaculture facility located at Howard Springs in the Northern Territory. Aquagreen produces the more common varieties of aquarium plants for the local aquarium shops. We have encouraged the use of native plants for aquaria, but, apart from a few easy to grow species many natives do not fare well after a couple of weeks in a shop display tank. Many native species require high light levels and attention to water quality management. This is an attempt to help people obtain the native plants to make a compressed habitat style aquarium for their favourite native fish. To find out more about a particular plant go to the catalogue link, scroll down the plant list and click on the plants that are underscored. The information section of each species has comments on its cultivation. If there are more questions about cultivation you can email Dave who will try to help with some answers. In the guides section there is a description of how to set up an aquarium for native plants and to manage or control the conditions for good plant growth. If you want to set up an aquarium with fish and plants from a particular place go to the Australia and New Guinea Fishes Association (ANGFA) database into the survey section where you will find lists of aquatic plants that were observed during the surveys conducted by members. You can get to that web site from the links page.
