Goldfish with which plants?

["G.Tong" <gtong at sirius_com>]

Goldfish are not tropical fish. You need to provide the conditions goldfish
need first--usually an unheated tank 75F or less in temp with basic water.
And goldfish are best kept only with other goldfish. Centuries of breeding
for odd shapes has left them somewhat fragile and clumsy (in terms of
competing for food and avoiding algae eaters, e.g.).

You're right that they won't eat Java ferns or anubias but a tank in which
crypts and aponos grow well is more than likely not suitable for goldfish.
But check your conditions ...
