Vik,
All personal preference if you have them or not. I tend to keep live plants, but have to replace quite often. |

They can also use the plants to hide behind when they are edgy. |

I would be hesitant about planting a tank with with a UGF (Under ground
filter). From what I understand, most plants do not do well with a UGF... Timmer... Canadians in Californi'Eh... "Geezer From The Freezer" wrote in message ...

Timmer,
Many plants do not do well with UGF's because people do not put enough gravel on top of the filter plates. And UGF should have 1 1/2 inch to 2 inches of gravel on top of the plates, and RUGF need about 3 inches. Most people do not want to put that much gravel in their tanks. HTH Tom L.L.
