There must have been some miscommunication at some point , biggie the goldfish is currently in a 10 g not a 5 g , but i have been seeing that reciently and actually really wanted to try it with my planted tank , roots in the water and it will grow a plant above your tank ! I might have to get another light and try it ! I think the giant net of roots looks awesome and you can trim them with no negative effect , check the youtube page foo the flowerhorn and look at his walstad style tanks , super cool and he does this to oneHey @Mister.fresh: eventually your going to have problems w/nitrates on 5gal . Been hearing alot of noise lately about people using sweet potato plants to deal w/issue. Cheap & easy!!!!! Might be something to look into.View attachment 312291View attachment 312292View attachment 312293
