Ok, so i've been looking at a lot of tanks on this forum and they look amazing! i like how mine looks but i have no plants! i think plants might be what its missing to get my tank looking a lot better.
I have a few questions first if you guys could please answer:
1. Can i change the gravel for sand with out upsetting the fish and with out losing all the bacterial?
2. Will my fire eel just uproot all the plants when it digs and burrows?
3. I have no idea about plants, so could you guys suggest some pants that will go with my fish? (see fish stock list below) - I had some plants in my smaller tank but my pleco, or maybe other fish, kept eating the leaves
4a. How easy is it to re-scape with the water and fish still in the tank? will it upset the fish?
4b. If it will upset the fish, how can i go about re-scaping without having to sell all my fish and re-stock after? Will they be alright if i put them in buckets while i re-scape?
5. How easy are the plants to maintain? ... Do they need special lighting or anything?
Stock list (fish i will be keeping)
I've also got a hug bit of wood and a few big rocks, i will be getting more rocks probably as i re-scape.
Many thanks in advance.
