What would be the way to add plants to an already cycled tank with
fish and
live plants?

Thanks


1: Research the needs of the plant you wish to add, and determine if
your tank meets those needs.

2: Research the max size of both the new and existing plants, then
determine the planting location so as to avoid a short plant being
starved of light, or a slow-grower choked out by a fast grower.

3: Consider aesthetics, of course. g

4: Some people believe in a "bleachwater" dip to kill off pond
snails. Other do not. I do not. I tried it several times, and now
prefer a couple snails to the risk of harming the plants. Better, I
just keep a couple loaches in my planted fresh tanks

5: Put em in! Take care not to damage roots, if they have them.
