In a 10g tank I have to do weekly trimmings. It really depends on what type of look you're going for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

Do you have a pond for them in summer or something? Edit: To answer sis's question below, 40 litres is 10 gallons. Last edited by dude_dude at 11-Jul-2005 20:31 |

Caviar![]() ![]() Hobbyist Posts: 134 Kudos: 187 Votes: 73 Registered: 09-Jan-2004 ![]() ![]() | Hi. The tank is US 40 gallon long( lower height, more surface area. There are 2 small goldfish in the tank and 8 Corys. They are fine for now but I'll upgrade when the time comes) I put 10 bunches of Anacharis in and will trim it as needed. I have a 20 gallon long also that I can put extras. Thanks all. |
