Question
Hi.

I would like to set up a 55 gallon tank for fancy goldfish.  Must they have live plants?  I am afraid the live plants will bother my allergies. Thanks.

Answer
Hi Cole,
Fancy goldfish do not have to have live plants. They do like them of course, all fish do. But they'll get along well with just plastic.

You should visit this website. It has wonderful info about fancy goldfish-

I hope this helps!
