But a plant-only tank could be boring for some people... What size tank and lighting is it also? and what plants?

Plant only will take special care, whereas with fish in the tank they can do some of the work for you. ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith? It's real, the pain you feel.

There are some Cichlids that eat or up-root the Plants. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
