    Hi, in my experience, goldfish are remarkably good at eating anything and everything including other smaller fish. My suggestion for your tank would be to have thick leaved plants like anubias if you really want. Moss won't last long as they'll tear bits off and destroy the moss colony.

    I have tried to put in various types of plants and in the end, it will end up in my GF's mouth.

    Goldfish eat plants. My gf is always bugging me to keep goldfish so when I move out, I will be tempted to try goldfish with plenty of javaferns and nanas.

    From my own experience, goldfish eat mosses, all softleaves plants, etc. Anything that fits in their mouth to be honest! And I am not talking about Koi, or the one tail goldfish. I am talking about the nice fancy goldfish.

    Cheers, Christophe

    if you really want to have plants inside i would suggest those plastic ones... its sounds ridiculous but its way better than those moss, ferns as they get eaten easily... hope this helps

    Goldfish always like to chew things i think your waterplant can't survive long.Moreover if yr goldfish is big & might injure them as they r clumsy
