If you’ve tried many plants and your goldfish keep eating or destroying them I understand you are considering fake plants. Another suitable plant that’s not on this list but commonly sold as oxygen plants for goldfish is called “anacharis elodea” or “waterweeds”. If I had to choose from the plants in this list, adding stems of Hornwort would be my pick. If you’re keeping goldfish in a bowl or small tank I really would recommend adding oxygen plants. The plant would die off and I had to buy a new oxygen plant every month. When I first bought my 2 goldfish I had no prior fishkeeping experience and the store employee recommended an oxygen plant to provide my fish with air. I could not find any good pictures and I have not grown Moneywort myself, so I want to show you this video of Cory explaining the beauty of this plant. When you add this plant to your aquarium, make sure to tie a bunch of stems together and properly weight them down or bury them in the substrate firmly because your goldfish will try their best at digging them up. In the end it can be quite tall and is therefore best suited as a background plant for your aquarium. This plant is a stem plant that grows relatively slow. MoneywortĪ friend of mine recommended this plant as he has grown Moneywort in his goldfish aquarium and seen success. I recommend attaching both the big and small plants to a piece of wood or a rock to keep them in one place. The plant propagates by growing tiny plants at the end of its leaves that eventually fall and float around the tank. It’s a rather slow grower and also can survive without adding liquid fertilizer, especially in a goldfish aquarium as these fish are messy. This plant is a beginner plant that does well in low to medium lighting and does not need additional CO2. ![]() That’s great in a goldfish tank because there is nothing to dig up for them. ![]() Just like Anubias, this plant does better when the roots are not buried in the substrate. The leaves are strong and goldfish tend to leave them alone most of the time. Ha! The fish on this picture is a molly and not a goldfish! Did I fool you?Īrguably the most popular plant in the hobby is the Java fern.
