Planted Goldfish tank?

[Wallyfish]

Does anyone have any experience with large planted goldfish tanks? I've been bouncing ideas into my head for my largest and final aquarium (its gotta stop). I really like my goldfish Boris.

He is in a 10gal tank so I will have to upgrade soon. I can think of several other types of fancy goldfish that I like. Is it possible to have a large planted coldwater tank? If so what types of plants should I use? I'm hoping for a 55gal-100gal tank with flourite soil, strong flourescent lighting, homemade CO2 injection, and Canister filtering with no carbon media. Would it be better to transfer Boris to my 29 and just have a really big 100gal planted community tank?

My experience with goldfish is that they eat plants.

My experience with Goldfish is that they eat plants if you don't give them enough vegetable food ... well, they might nibble a bit anyway :)

A slightly bigger issue is that you need subtropical plants that can handle the colder water. Also it might be difficult to keep the temperature down if you have lots of light. An open tank would probably be a good idea.

Different anubias would probably work great. They won't get eaten, do fine in 20 degrees C, and prefers moderate lighting.

Goldfish eat plants...they do much better with artificial plants...or at least YOU do (less stress!)...

...then you can feed them veggies on the side...dark-leafed lettuce, spinach, zucchini, orange slices...

I had two goldfish for a year and they only ate the tiger lotus plant. They left everything else alone.

Vallisneria, Elodea (anacharis), some cryptocornye species will grow well under cold water conditions.

Remember to feed your goldfish plenty of veggies so they don't eat the plants.

However, you are going to need a lot of them and I know at my LFS they are more expensive than the regular plants.
