Aqua Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Hey guys - I have just donated my 2'x1'x1' tank to my bf's son, and he's got a comet - I'm just wondering what kind of plants would stand up against it? I was thinking of Java Fern, as it seems pretty damned robust, but I'm not sure. Also, We'd like to get a few more fish in there, but anything cold-water & small is likely to get eaten, isn't it?

Caryl Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Java will do OK. I also managed to keep water sprite because it grew faster than the goldfish could eat but they tend to eat the root end first so the top half dies off. I planted some and left others floating. Have you any safe streams nearby? Go down with a bucket and get oxygen weed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 streams? In Auckland? I may be on the North Shore, but I didn't think streams even existed anymore! :lol: hehe narh, I'll just pop over to Hollywoods or something over the w/end, and nab a few bunches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Caryl you beat me to it. oxygen weed is good. If it is for your sons' room would you consider some of the fake plants. I know that they look really realistic these days and the goldfish cannot eat them or dig them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
