Okay welll i have put a Philadendrons in my tank,
i have cutted some vines from my big Philadendrons(out side the tank)
It seems to be doing fine no goldfish has even tried to eat it
there is some roots
growing now and 2 leaves are growing out 2(new ones).

Umm..... will i have to cut it down... it's getting alittle big.


Will it start polluting the tank?

Mine never polutes the tank. Of course, you have to cut off all the wilted leaves, otherwise they fall off and into your tank. The root mass itself is a big tense, but the goldies usually give them a nice little cut here and there, they dont go on the main roots, just the tinier ones, so its a healthy balance.
A little cutting of the leaves here and there does not hurt, that only makes the plant grow more in depth, instead of growing lenght wise....It looks fuller that way! smile.gif
