So today in my English 102 class we are discussing topics and I had a brilliant idea. With approval from the professor, my evaluation paper is going to cover how live plants are better for an aquarium because they provider a healthier environment for fish. This where you guys come in.

 

The professor is looking for something like 5 hard resources. I know of several websites that are good resources, but she will only allow 2 resource sites. The rest have to be either articles or books. So i was wondering if anyone had some good books they use that i might be able to site as potential sources for the paper. The Info I'm looking for fall within 3 body paragraph subjects:

 

A. Plants provide natural filtration of toxic waste

B. Plants help to elivate stress on the fish by providing hiding/breeding areas for the fish

C. Higher Oxygen levels are always better for fish

 

Now of course the subjects can change at anytime, these are simply some of the major befits that live plants for tanks that i could think of at the moment. Also I can go up to 5 body paragraphs so if you guys can think of anymore points on the benefits of live plants in tanks that would be cool too. As of right now i can't think of better resource of Fish and live plant keeping on the internet then Fishtanktv.com, so i figured you guys would know where the original info came from. Thanks for reading and feedback is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!!

I guess the obvious one is Ecology of the Planted Aquarium by Diana Walstad.  Try something by Peter Hiscock also.  I've browsed through some of his stuff at the bookstore, but never purchased.

you can reference Tom Barr's research papers if you want something VERY scientific but you would have to tie them into your paper which will be difficult

another way is by using your paragraphs premises. here are some books you can read

Phytoremediation of Toxic Metals: Using Plants to Clean Up the Environment by 

Ilya Raskin (Editor), Burt D. Ensley (Editor)
