Archived from groups: rec>aquaria>freshwater>goldfish (more info?)
I have a couple of questions that so far I have had quite a few
conflicfting answers.....

I have a small coldwater tank....15"length 8"width 10"depth....
I have 2 small (1" long) fantails in it....

And I have started to get algae growing on the gravel on the bottom of the
tank and I wanted to start now to try to keep it under control...

If it makes a difference the tank has been going for just over 2 months...
The tank is not in any direct light although the light on the tank is on
for most of the day....Switched off at about 6pm....

My main question is....Is there enough space for the 2 fish?
Can I get a couple of snails to help with the algae problem?

I have a few (5) plastic plants in the tank and I was wondering if this is
enough....the tank looks to be a little bare....Although the fish
themselves seem fine...

Thanks for any help!

BTW...
Is there an FAQ available for this NG?
Or does anyone recomend a site for beginners like me?
