Hi all! I have just set up a new 55 gallon tank. Treated the water, tested
fine and now have put 5 giant danios and 2 zebra danios. Biggest one is about 1.5" in length. I put these kinds of fish cuz I read they were hearty and can withstand the spikes that occur during cycling. I have been reading this newsgroup for a while before I set up the tank and learned a lot. My question is does tank maintenance increase with live plants? I plan on adding some cichlids and oscars to the tank once it has cycled. thanks in advance. Fernan |

Fernan Not really, well it does if your fish rip them to pieces. If they don't then the plants can help keep nitrates lower for longer. |
