And the goldfish haven't eaten the Egeria? They usually make very short work
of it.

Nope, they haven't touched it. I've had good luck with goldfish not
eating most of my plants. There are a few plants that they really
like, but Egeria doesn't appear to be on the top of their list. They
also seem to be territorial and they didn't like the corner of the
tank that I put it in anyway.

The tank is currently at 72 degrees F.

Even that might be too warm. I'm told Egeria does best at temps in the fifties
to mid-sixties.

Well, that is as cold as I can get it. My lights provide a lot of
heat and it is winter now. I'm concerned in the summer that my lights
will provide too much heat. I'm already thinking about a way to cool
things down in the summer.

Thanks,
Tony
