@@andrewgoldfish thanks sir, I got a 55 gallon planted ryukin goldfish tank. Stock tank filter and soil. Duckweed on top in the corners. Bacopa Carolina , two Anubia’s and some Java fern, tested 7.6 ph yesterday after two months of settling

@@conquistador69420 sounds good. I use to have some bacopa in this tank but it only lasted a year or so before getting pulled up. Hopefully you’ll do better.

@@andrewgoldfish so far so good, I try to not give it too much light but enough to make it redish

@@conquistador69420 yeah I’ve lowered all my lights to 50 percent to help keep algae at bay

Hope the gravel over the sand works! in my goldfish tank the only thing planted on the sand is Crinum and I placed some rocks around it so that the goldfish wouldn’t dig it out and it works pretty well but I see my sand moving as time passes except for that part where the crinum is. Also that happened to my Anubias too when I spray them with excel to get rid of hair algae and they died back and sprouted new leaves again.

@@skyrimfan1000 if only we could promise our goldfish extra treats if they agree to not pull up the plants.
