Dirt, Sand, Eco Complete Tank Setup

Setting up a 40 with dirt, sand and eco complete to grow hygrophila corymbosa for my baby ranchu goldfish. I plan to make update videos over time to show how things went long term in “The Island Aquarium.”

Please do an updated video in a few months. Interested in seeing how the plants fair.
I have hygro in just gravel with fert tabs and growing well.

I plan to.

It will look more goldfishy once the babies get moved over. Then we'll see how the goldfish vs plants story goes.

Hey Andrew Thx for adding Hygrophillia Corymbosa in your plant list!
Hygrophillia Corymbosa Pro tip: even if your goldfish rip some of the leaves out don't take them out. Under sufficient light even floating single leaves develop root system, and start developing small leaves. My gold fishes rip some leaves from time to time and it even helps this plant propagate.

Will do. I have more plants than I need so I might try “planting” them in the gravel of my Anubias tank and see what happens.

This has nothing to do with goldfish
