I want to have live plants in all my tanks. I have tried it before and they all wilted away, if thats what you call it. The leaves turned clear and the plants died.

I looked up the books for plants on this site and don't know which of the ones listed would be better for me.

I have 2 10 gallons and 1 29 gallon tanks, all are freshwater. I have no idea what I need or how to keep plants in tanks.

Thanks for any tips!

Aquarium Plants: The Practical Guide

I purchased this book for reference after reading it over coffee at Barnes & Noble. It doesn't go into the taxonomic details of other books but I wasn't looking for arcane data. I liked the straightforward prose and organization. The photographs are great.

Use it in conjunction with http://www.tropica.com for greater detail on plants.

You will love the book for ideas on how to set-up a planted tank.
