CS> I have one now, partly a fish tank but mostly plants for the big
CS> tank. What I am looking for is plants the fish will consider as
CS> 'noshes' if you know what I mean. Goldfish food in addition to
CS> their flake foods.
Hydrofilia is a fast growing plant that reproduces well, and is easily
edible. For a cover plant, I would suggest watersprite. It can be rooted,
where it will grow up to the surface, or it can float. Good hidding for fry,
and darn attractive to boot! :)
CS> I'm also still considering that 3rd tank and what to do with it.
CS> Don (Hubby) wants largish angel fish but it's a mere 20 gallon size
CS> or so and I am not familiar with what to mix to create my first
CS> true 'community tank'.
I don't think I would put more than two angels in a 20g. A small school of
neons or cardinals is quite attractive, and you can mix these well with other
species that like slightly acidic waters. May I suggest a couple of Rainbow
Cichlids? They are the friendliest things around, and mine never bothered
the cardinals, or any of the smaller fishes. They also reproduce well in
captivity, and are very easy to care for.
