Do Plants In An Aquarium Count As A House Plant?

While I am thinking I need to re-count my plants to see how many I have these days I got to think about the ones in my fish tank, do they count as a house plant? I would say yes because they are inside.  Right now I have four in there.  I took some pictures the other day so I could them up here but they didn't look that great on the computer screen.  Those small screens on the camera can hide a lot.  I was looking around the internet to see if any of the plants I have would grow in the tank. I couldn't find much info about the types of plants that would work, They were more general info rather then a detailed list.  However, I did see a few forums that were talking about Spider Plants in fish tanks.  Many said they can live if only the roots touch the water.   But I have a Spider Plant that has a lot of babies I need to do something with so I may toss one in there just to see. I figure if it doesn't kill the fish why not.     I don't think I am going to buy any more for the tank for right now. I want to see if I can get these ones to be happy and grow before I go throwing money down the drain.


 I don't think they do anything for my air since they are in the tank.  But I could be wrong. I should do a google search to see if that question has been answered.   I do not mind if they don't, that is not the only reason to love plants. If looking pretty is all they do that is good enough.

Need To Re-Count My Plants

I am not sure if my plant count is good, I know I have lost some and bought some in the last few months but It should be close to what I have.
