Jungly goodness they're nice! Are all the swords in the middle pic the same kind? You'll be able to plant a few more tanks, LOL.

That has to be one of the best sword plants I've seen. Great job! :clap:

Are all the plants in the gold fish tank "gold fish friendly" or is there simply too much for the goldfish to damage.

Well they rut around a lot and only on rare occasions has a plant become uprooted...that tank is 30g with 2 goldfish 6 ottos and about a dozen or so shrimp lurking about...had some frogs in there but they didnt make it...
the temp is 72 and i have co2 injection...
and like i said all of the plants in the 55g came from cuttings from this tank...i had to transplant the sword as it was covering the entire top of the water...when i got it it as about 1/3 the size and i must have transplanted at least 50 of the offshoots
i have vals in this tank as well and it is shooting off runners as well!

Goldfish have a tendency to uproot and rip at plants. However, if you have found a way to work around that and have a planted tank with goldfish, then more power to you. Looks wonderful!

Thanks very much...as there are only two of them perhaps they are more interested in each other than the plants!! ;-)
