Good Idea or not? Live plants?

Some fish however are incompatable with plants, so additional research is needed in selecting fish as well as plants.

Also, many LFS sell emerse plants which are not suitable for life underwater, so caution must be used there as well.
 
Thanks, Gunnie and RTR ....

I like the lush look of the planted tank. Green and tranquail ....

As RTR pointed out, some fish just are not too plants friendly. I have 4 good size goldfish - 2 lionheads, 1 fantail, and 1 oranda in the 55G tank. According to the goldfish book I read, GF are not plants friendly. The book actually lean toward having plastic plants for goldfish for low maintenance.

Cannot have the best of the both worlds, can I?! :(

Take care,
CM :) :) :)
