Tank Revamp

[fishman256]

Hello,

I have a 24"x12"x15" coldwater aquarium that I am thinking of revamping in the next couple of months (keeping the currrent fish). At the moment I has pea grvel substrate, plasic plants and a couple of its of bogwood.

My plan is to remove the bogwood and gravel and replace the substrate with sand along with a couple of round stones.

I am also looking for a plant that will not only survive the goldfish but also the low temparatures in winter (it is kept in a conservatory). I have tried jave fearn, but the water got too cold.

I will try to post a couple of pictures leter on today.


Any suggestions/comments will be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance.

anacharis (assuming it can grow faster than the goldfish can eat), hornwort, possibly green cabomba. Thats all i can think of at the time being.

How cold does it get where the tank is kept?

look into some Vals, there are some species that grow wild in the South East US that can stand cold weather but not a frozen tank

The tank can get below 50 degrees in winter. The tank is lit by a ingle tube, but it should be alright for vallis.
