Regular Member Black oranda Posted July 18, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hey guys, i recently added my first few live plants to the Goldfish tank. There all "baby plants" from my tropical tank. Ranging from 1 to 2 inches tall... I've got 2 types of java fern in there (lace/normal) and i have some java moss. I tied the plants onto a peice of rock. I was wondering do you think they will make it?, should i go buy some liquid CO2? to help them grow faster? Also i was wondering, i tied the plants down with the metal wire that you find in garbadge ties... Do you think this will be okay? I made sure that there wasn't anything dangerous poping out. Its all tied very well. What do you think? Ill get a picture tommorow of how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member smack536 Posted July 19, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 19, 2005 id worry about the metal rusting on the ties....they do in our freezer even when we use them on bags of stuff...maybe try those electrical ties? like zip ties? ya know what i mean? you zip em shut but they cant pull back the other way?

Regular Member troyjames Posted July 19, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted July 19, 2005 Fishing line, especially tippet line for fly fishing, works well for tying down plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
