(ignore the leftover food lol) this setup has helped my plants survive in my goldfish tank. if ur plants are always being uprooted i would highly suggest this. the roots of my plants are established in the gravel, and the gem stones prevent the goldfish from scattering gravel everywhere and uprooting/eating the plants. ponch gave me a big scare a couple months ago bc he swallowed a piece of gravel. i managed to hold him and pull put the stone w very small tweezers and he was completely fine after, but it still stressed me out. this is a great solution!
