Does anyone have experience with pothos roots in a goldfish tank? 😊 I’m thinking of adding some to our fish tank but want to be careful.

Just make sure to clean off the roots. Ideally a fresh cutting thats had no pesticides on it. But they do fine in fishtanks.

My goldfish just ate them, so I’d say if you can put them to where they can’t get them they should be good,

Yea. I will say the most success I've had was with guppies or endlers 😆

They do make clip on plant holders for aquariums, I see a lot of 3d printed ones on etsy

I’ve propagated pothos in my tanks before. As long as the fish prefer hiding in them and not eating them. I’ve heard of sweet potato as well. My guppies used to love hiding in the roots.
