Bro, you might want to upgrade your tank to 2-3 feet at least. Is a tough job for you to maintain the water parameter. you might want to read the thread in GF keeping previously brothers here posted. anything unsure just post and let brothers here assist you.

FYI, your GF are not in good health.

Regards

I agree with Brother Beng66 and Brother Leong Nice ranchu but maybe consider a 2 - 3 feet tank more space can grow bigger - Just my 2cents

if i am not wrong, there's no way of regrowing after trimming...if you really like it very much and not rearing for showing, then maybe can buy lor...
