Can you have too many plants?

[boxman]

Is it possible to have too many plants in one tank?

Are there signs too look out for (say in chemical levels) that might suggest this?

Reason I ask is I'm about to order a few plants online and just want a bit of reassurance before I blow £25.

Thanks
Pete

You could buy a made up set of plants for the size of your tank, Most plant retailers sell made up sets

I don't think you can, so long as you use fertilizer to provide them with the nutrition they need. Unless you cannot see the fauna for the flora!

This works really well as this is what i did as a real plant beginner.

You can get around 50 plants for £8 at someone like Greenline Aquatics (http/www.aquaticplants.eu.com/)

If you have too many plants there wont be room for your fishes to swim and they wont be too happy.
