    Hi,

    Sorry, I am unable to help u. I cant help but notice that u have a goldfish in the 2nd picture. Will the goldfish uproot and munch these new plants? Understand that most plants are not compatible with goldfish, except those hardy one.

    Let me know your experience, cos I am rearing goldfish too... thanks.

    Thanks for the identification guys! I will go read up on those plants. tonyneo, i have 4 goldfish and they did not uproot or munch on the plants, they like to suck in the subsrate and spit out often though. Btw guys, is 33.8 degree celcius too hot for the fishes? The fishes look fine to me, i bought a thermometer yesterday because i always felt my aquarium water was warm to touch and the readings i got was about 33-34 degrees celcius..

    Do you guys have a chiller or a fan permanently cooling the water? I just changed from 2400l/hr waterhead pump to a 650l/hr.. my water temp is still around 32 degree celcius.. i thought it was my oversized waterhead pump thats causing the heat..
