I got more new plants today at the pet store I bought a rotala and a amazon sword.

Rotala Indica ? I hope so. It has done GREAT in my aquarium with my Goldfish. It actually gets most of the attention even though it is more to the side in my aquarium. In my signature below it is on the left side and green. It is now a really pretty red color since I have been fertilizing.

I'm just getting a tank set up after several years - and I'm going with fancy goldfish. I've enjoyed them in the past but I always went with plastic plants thinking that goldfish would eat anything live.
I have added several different plants this time and the fish are pretty much leaving them alone - but this brings up another question. In the past I've always added salt to my goldfish tank, but can I do that with live plants? Salt will usually kill plants - at least those on dry land. Are aquadic plants different? Or is the amount of salt too low to harm them?
