We
have created three habitats that are ideal for Tropical Fancy
Goldfish types like: Moors, Orandas,
Ranchu and Ryukins, etc. Since these
fish types are usually plant eaters, it's okay for them to nibble
on these plants. A common mistake in offering plants to a goldfish
tank is that people will only add a few plants (under planting)
to the tank and the fish will eat them up quickly! We suggest
planting your tank with these quantities for each tank size specified
to help control algae, and promote clarity. Offering larger numbers
of plants will also help your goldfish establish better territories,
provide spawning areas, and since most goldfish eat their young,
these plants will also provide refuge for the young after the
eggs hatch. Let's not forget that these plants DO make the tank
look gorgeous! We've made this easy for you......The following
plants will grow in low, medium or high light; and with or without
CO2 injection. Of course, a good plant fertilizer is essential.
