Cheesejawa Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 The hygro, ludwiga repens, java fern and aponogetons all have pieces out of them. :evil: This has never happened before and all the fish have been in the tank for months now and have never done this with the exception of the moonlight gourami. They are all fed once of twice a day. In the tank I have 2 angels, 9 lemon tetras, 1 moonlight gourami, 2 danios and 1 GBA. Who is eating my plants and how can I stop it.

Cheesejawa Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 No it looks like something has taken bites out of the plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesejawa Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 How expensive is pottasium supplement and test kits? Could I just add banana? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Wouldn't you just need to add some aquarium plant fert?? I assume that they would contain potassium.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I would do that and also keep an eye on the GBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 sorry for stating the obvious but you have no snails hiding away somewhere do you? Pehaps put a piece of lettuce in to see if you can see any snails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesejawa Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have plenty of snails but they have never eaten plants before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
