I have had a potted Amazon sword in with my goldfish for three or four
weeks now ... so far, no nibbles.

plant that goldfish will not eat? Are there any good sites online for
ordering water plants? I'd like to find something that floats on the
surface.

Thanks,

You could *try* using a CO2 diffuser (to help the plants grow) I don't
know if they'll grow enough to feed the fish and survive at the same
time though.
