I havent had issues with duckweed, then again I used a HOB filter with an extremely long intake tube so it never got stuck in my filter. I couldn't do that in my 120 because its an overflow. There are better plants to use I just threw that out there. But a good super fast growing plant is a that cannot get sucked up is anacharis. Its a stem plant so once it gets to long for your taste cut them to length and you can regrow the stems that you cut off. If your having issues monitoring dinner time you may want to re-arrange your tank. That could also help getting the poop to get stirred up and filtered out. If you have any plant related questions feel free to ask. I have a 55gallon that is my strictly planted aquarium.

Okay I'll try to look in to tanacharis. Im really after the look of the tank. Its just meant to be a grow out. But if the fish would grow faster in a planted tank then Im good with setting it up again in a 30 gal. I could also put the the wood and the moss in without the soil for better cleaning. But the swords wouldnt be in the tank. Lol these guys are small compared to the del. Once the del reaches a good length Im going to move him immediately

I thought about dividing it but that would also half the footprint of the small tank. Another problem is that the ornate never comes out of hiding. Especially when Im around. But sometimes I catch him swimming near the top. I reaally want to get the best growth for these guys

How do you divide your tank? I feed mine by leaving food in the tank then turning off the lights. They wont eat with the lights on

Off topic question: My endli swims from one side of the tank the other then darts up almost like he's trying to get out. But only half his body comes out then he swims on top with his head outside the water then swims back down the other side of the tank, is this normal? Its my firsft time to hang around the tank and Im observing more action now than at night. He does it non stop.

Devil's ivy, Golden Pothos, I've done my research on the plant it's just that it's non available on QC circle gonna go to cartimar tomorrow or today just to search for this plant. Im gonna pm you the links for the other guys. I've dealth with sir ritchie himself, but for the other guys as I've observed them they're also good dealers. but on the pet city it's kinda over priced. shhh don't tell them..
