Please some one remind me what plants goldfish type fish (I have an
oranda) do not like to eat. It has been some time since I ordered plants,
and now I cannot recall which ones it didn't eat down to a stem.

Thanks!


Lace plants grow from bulbs.
Spaths (those madonna lilly looking hings)
Most Anubias are safe from them too.
If you can get a tray of cheap
palm trees from a nursery
they last a fair while under the water and look kinda funky
as well as being cheap
Otherwise go with the plastic/silk plants.
Lexx effort.
Plants able to survive in with goldfish are often more expensive.
But you can reduce your goldys vege rampages by feeding the odd shelled
frozen green pea
or a handful of duckweed from an outside tub.
or even a bit of zuccini or cucumber or squash etc on a stainless steel
fork.
Goldfish need plant matter
but they don't like those lace plants, at least not the ones around here.
