Can I pot up a couple of swords that my three 'grubing' goldfish keep
up rooting from the gravel? The tank is a 29 gallon one with a UGF and
a Whisper 40 hang-on. Plants were stuck in the gravel without any clay
which I understand is only one of my mistakes.
TIA for your suggestions.

Sure. Find some attractive plastic or clay pots of maybe 3" to 4" size
depending on the eventual size of the swordplant and fill them with
well-rinsed Flourite or some other suitable potting medium. You might
want to put some fairly large pebbles over the Flourite to keep the
goldfish from digging in it.
