hi so i was reading the comments and you said that you used soil and then gravel on top for your plants? now how does that work? sorry im a newbie at fish tanks, plants, fishes, etc. but i want learn. thanks
@GREATESTEVER86 There is a tutorial video on my channel. Click on goldfishhub and go through the videos that I have. Lately i have changed the way I plant these plants. I am using cloth instead of containers for soil. You can see that in one of my videos in my Channel. Youtube doesn't allow me to post links to my videos here.
@paulaxa1 No. Not even one goldfish can be kept in a 5 gallon tank. They will die and live a very miserable live before their death. You need at lease 30 to 40 G.
@paulaxa1 30 US gallons = 113.562354 litres. You can use google to convert gallons to liters. Type "30 gallon to litres" in google. I would recommand getting a 55 Gallons. The reason is that we all want to keep on adding more fish to the tank whenever goldfish bug bites us.
also I have a 17 gallon tank, will I be able to keep two fantails in here?
thanks a lot :)
Foxtail plants always tend to get destroyed when I merely touch them. How to cut these and multiply them is a mistery to me. Also how did you got them to stay in those neat white plastic boxes? I am planning to put this in my aquarium :)
@Karrdeh By cutting them to make new bunches when they grow longer.
They are very hardy. When they are long enough you can just cut them and tie them up. Then you put them in top soil and gravel. 17 gallon is too small for 2 fantails.
@karabuto45 I recently bought a small ranchu here in australia that cost me 35 dollars i.e equivalent to 1600 philippino pesos. goldfishes r much cheaper in asia than in here or europe. I wish i lived in asia.
@userflock They aren't as short as HC or glosso types but h. tenellum (formerly e. tenellus, aka pygmy/narrow leaf chain sword) and dwarf sag (sagittaria subulata) are both "lawn" kind of plants that don't need CO2 or anything fancy.
@s0uthp4w68 For that tank I am using aqua clear 110 and Ehiem 2229 filter. But if you are going to get a filter, I would recommend sump/trickle filter. They do excellent job and easy maintenance and cheaper. Instead of plastic bio balls fill up with 1/8' lava rocks in laundry back and put the bag in bio media area... You will find your self with crytal clear polished water even under very heavy load.
:D

@userflock Unfortunately I don't know much about carpet plants. But goldfish will not be able to destroy green fox tail plants.
