My fancy fantail goldfish is becoming increasingly interested in the silk plant in his tank and keeps trying for a nibble. He loves peas and things but I thought it might be nice for him to have a real plant as its healthy for him to eat and oxygenates the water. What plants are low maintenance and ok for gravel digging fish like my fantail? And how would I look after this plant properly? I especially recommend aponogetons. My first plants were aponogetons; I bought a pack of bulbs from Walmart for three dollars for five to ten bulbs and two of them grew into very beautiful plants with no special care whatsoever. If you want a plant that your goldfish won’t eat, try this one: http://www.aquariumplants.com/Ludwigia_Broad_Leaf_Ludwigia_repens_p/bp017.htm (read the review that someone wrote)

Any of these plants will do well for beginners. http://www.aquariumplants.com/Beginner_Plants_s/17.htm I especially recommend aponogetons.

I have a 30g with a fancy goldfish and the tank is planted. Since your fancy likes to dig try plants like: Microsorium pteropus (Java fern) Tie roots onto driftwood, rocks, ect. Anubias nana Vesicularia dubyana (Java Moss) Ceratophyllum demersum (Hornwort) Lemna minor (Duckweed) This is a floating plant, my goldfish treats it like a snack, but it grows back pretty quickly. I have all of these plants (and some more, but I can’t think of them off the top of my head) and my goldfish & the plants are thriving nicely. All of the plants I listed are relatively low-light, low-care plants. I do add liquid carbon (Seachem’s Flourish Excel) to all my planted tanks, and it helps the plant growth considerably. You can also add liquid fertalizers, but if added in excess it can cause algae growth. Do you have florecent or incandecent bulbs in your tank? Try to get florcent if you don’t have them. When starting out, try buying a few plants and see how it goes and then gradually build up. Feel free to e-mail me with any more questions.

I have to say that Im really unimpressed with this. I mean, sure, youve got some very interesting points. But this blog is just really lacking in something. Maybe its content, maybe its just the design. I dont know. But its almost like you wrote this because everybodys doing it. No passion at all.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
