4ft planted goldfish tank

[kirty]

Finally did up my 4ft goldfish tank. Plants are from the local creek and seem very hardy (although only time will tell how they hold up!). Fish are very happy with the new set up. I got the idea for an open top on another forum.

That's a good looking tank. I like how you've spaced out the plants so that it breaks up the volume of the tank and creates a bit of depth as you look through it. It creates a bit of 'terrain' for the fish to swim through too.

How'd you get the roots to stick to the gravel?

[kirty]

Thanks. The fish really seem to enjoy swimming through all the plants, and the plants are robust enough to withstand any 'nibbling' from the fish!

It doesn't look like it in the photo, but the gravel is quite deep so once I buried the roots, the plants stayed put.

I really like that tank - love the plants that grow out of the water.

Do you know what they are?

No idea sorry. Not sure if they are natives or weeds.

Loving it!
