Hmm, I keep 2 rather large goldfish in my 10 gallon (along with 3 SAE and
2 Ottos who just gave way to a new baby otto, its pretty cute, i never
realized it was even born until last week), in my planted tank. Goldfish
prefer tasty store food over the plants in the aquarium in my experience.
I have never seen them eat elodea/anachris only nibble at it. The texture
of elodea/anachris seems to sturdy for goldfish mouths to actually eat it
up.

The only problem is that goldfish will unroot *new* plants, and only
occasionaly at taht (maybe once or twice a week), but plants
that have an established root system will not get uprooted.

Sagittaria subulata is a good pick for a goldfish tank. It's "durable,"
prefers cooler temperatures, and is excellent for promoting water quality.
Use a well established clump initially to minimize uprooting problems (the
potted dwarf sags from AZ Aquatic Gardens are a great bargain).

Goldfish, IME, will eat most plants. My MIL has a 40 gallon gf tank and
just
*continually* replaces anacharis. I keep trying to get her to give up
buying
it, all that did was make her restock it from *my* overly successful
anacharis. They don't seem to bother the anubius nana or java fern,
though.
