I'm looking for some plants that I can put in my aquarium that the
goldfish won't eat. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
BigDD

Thanks Magic. I already have some plastic but I would like to add
some living plants to help deal with the waste created by the goldfish.
Any suggestions?

Try here:

Chet was one of our "help I've got a dozen goldfish that my child
brought home from school" victims. Turned out quite nicely...

Unfortunately, phyl from TrueAquariumPlants went out of business.... :-(

God bless her, hope she's doing OK.

Whenever I talk to people at the pet store, they say, "Well, who knows
with goldfish. You may have to try a few." As it turns out, hornwort
appears to be something that none of my fish care too much about, and
even when they DO attack the plant, it grows so unreasonably fast that
they don't really have a chance to damage it. I wish they WOULD eat
it. Coming up with ways to kepp it out of the way, but not chop it up
too much is getting difficult.
