the ones i have are 12inchs tall and the main one is 2 years old but the rest are pretty new but grow quick, i think its cuz its pretty much sealed so animals use the o2 and release co2 for the plants. i started from 1 4x4 java fern now i have 4 tanks filled with it & it all came from this tank :D

Butterfly Hillstream Loach kept in coldwater?

I have a weather loach tank and i was wondering if its possible to keep a hillstream loach in it? would it be to cold? im not sure on the exact temp right now, but it was anywhere between 65-70F, but that was in the fall so i guess it would be alot colder now.
