Right now, I have common goldfish (read his harrowing tale here: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f70/the-highlander-100778.html)
he's now living in a 2 gal fishbowl with a filter/bubbler. I'm ready to move him into a bigger tank, which he definitely needs. I'm thinking something not terribly big, but something that will give him some swimming around room, maybe around 10-15gal (he's still pretty small.)
Anyway, I've been looking through the forum for a while, and I like the look of the natural, planted tanks. Now, I don't really know much about planted tanks, but I do know that my fishy likes to eat. He ate all the leaves off of a cheapo Petco plant with little leaves. Can I avoid this with bigger leaved plants? My problem is that I really like the look of HC (Hemianthus Callitrichoides.) Will he eat this? I really like the look of the lawn of little leaves, but I'm not going to try if he's going to nibble it all up. If so, is there something else I could plant in there that would give a similar effect?
