shade?

[OneWolvesDream]

im now leaving the light in my tank on for 10 hours a day but will that have a toll on the fish? because i dont have much hiding place for them. im low on money so does anyone have any ideas of things i can use to make shade for the fish?

why don't you get 3 lots of weed put it in a corner and they can go under it when they get hot i do that with my fish they love it, weed is very cheep to buy

good idea or bad ???

sounds like a good idea. today im going to walmart. ill most prob. buy a pot there and cut that so they can go in there and on the way i have a place that i can get free plants at. ask them for some and plant them maybe. though they dont give much shade. i think it might work

cool sounds great maybe you could just turn your light off for say 1 hour so they can get shade in the day ????

that could be a good idea. any ideas maybe on growing the plants easyer with less effect on my fish? because i dont think they are that used to much light.

dang that sux.....hmm. i think im going to get a seperate tank and raise the plants in there first because that way when i add the plant in it will have the roots i need
