Once the rice is established and the water level is suitable, you can introduce fish to the tank.
My tank's already home to some finned friends, so I'm not sure they'd appreciate a drastic change like that.

I'd love to start fresh, but my tank's already home to a bunch of finned friends - they might not appreciate a complete overhaul. Guess I'm stuck with transplanting my rice into the tank once it's big enough.

I think I'll need a bigger space to accommodate all these rice plants.
