I was going to landscape my GF aquarium with lots of plants. I Since
most grow well in mud I thought I would bundle up a small ball of mud
with a plant fertilizer tab in the middle, plant the plant in it and
wrap the ball in some fine mesh thing. It worked great once but I'm
not sure how this would effect my GF on a large scale. I'm sure they
would be ok with the mud - but what about the fertilizer tab?

should be okay, the only potential problem I see is that goldfish root
around and may dig up the plants, stiring up the mud.

They also like to eat some plants, right now I am having good luck
with a tank with two goldfish and using anubias, java fern, and a
swordplant.

Charles,

What are you using for substrate with the Sword? I don't have any gravel in
my GF tank. I was thinking a pond planter with Flourite might do.

I've tried everything with my GF, but they've either destroyed it or eaten
it. Java Fern (pulled it off the driftwood), Annubias (ate it), Java Moss
(tore it up/ate it), Water Hyacinth (destroyed it), Hornwort (decimated it).
But I've got a Sword that's getting too big for my other tank and I thought
it might be big enough/tough enough to survive.
