They get so big, I don't know if any plants are safe. You might try Anubias. They do well in low light, and have tough, bitter leaves that herbivores often avoid. They're the only plants that my friend's 8" goldfish won't touch. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |

I don't even know what yabbies are, but I have successfully grown "Jungle Val" and java ferns in a tank of goldfish. The val is tougher than plastic, and the java fern must taste bad or something. Sword plants *might* be OK, I've grown them with goldfish too, but the gf will pull up small sword plants. Best regards, Bob |
