Plant Getting Float

[milindsaraswala]

I have 8 gallon fresh water tank with 5 neon tetra, 2 small gold fish and 1 fighter fish. They are going very well from last 4 months. I have internal filter, internal heater and buble maker. I have gravel as stone. I got 1 plant immerse type so what I did i tie with stone put in the tank may 4 -5 plants. I cannot tie them tight as their steam is very thin and it will break. And plant was doing well it was making new leaf but the problem is that after every 10 - 15 days plants start floating.

So I need help from you people how I will keep them immerse what should I have to do for that. You people valuable tip will be appriciable

Do you know what type of plant it is?
If its a floating variety that does NOT grow roots then you will have to anchor it down (like you have already tried) every time it breaks free.
If it grows roots then you can ofcourse plant it into the substrate (sand or gravel)

goldfish should not be in your tank!!!

they need atleast 20-30 gallons for one fancy goldfish - 40 + gallons for commons!
also - goldfish are COLDWATER, neons and bettas are TROPICAL - -
