Decoration, How to decorate a 10ft aquatrium Options

[Damo]

I know the aquarium should be bare withiout any decorations. Pepples will accumalate dirt, plants would be eaten, logwood will tore fins and damage scales, fake plants looks ugly, etc....

The problem is that I bought a 10ft (3mts) aquarium for my new house which is being built. My wife does not like bare tanks (which I was planning to put in the living room). As we discussed in previous topics, when house minister wants, minister gets !!

Is it really that bad to put log wood? I tried in my smaller tank and I don't know if it is a coincidence but the tails of my GFs tend to split. Water too acidic with logwood??

Is their any plants out there which are too hard for them to eat?? Any ideas or pictures of successful decorated GFs tanks?

They won't eat Cabomba either. I think you said before that the tank would be lighted. The ideal is to put in plants (but no soil) that can grow as fast as the fish pick at it. You get the aesthetics of the plants and the goldfish get better nutrition. Some people keep a tub of plants outdoors in the sun and change them out when they start to look poor indoors.
