I have fancy goldfish (oranda and lionhead/lionchu) in 75 gallon high tank with 1 wpg for 6 hours.

They go along fine with tough leaves like Anubias, Jave fern and Sword. It's the root that they like to dig. I use plastic container with top soil+gravel covered by big rocks to avoid them digging. You may want to bump up your wpg if you want other than anubias and java fern.

You can find more goldfish safe plants at http://thegab.org/Articles/GoldfishPlantsLowTech.html

I attached my tank pic (a bit blurry, sorry). Oh, my first post here too albeit long time reader

Thats a really pretty tank

i am excited to see how this finally turns out, the color of the goldfishes contrasting the greeneries of the plants would be a nice visual feast

I have an idea for spacemonk1420's setup that will make the goldfishes and plants stand out more, since it great to have no substrate to a goldfish tank (hygiene) maybe we can add more contrast by placing a non-reflective black plastic on the tank bottom so it will then be black all over
