water wysteria - easily eaten by vege fish?

[henward]

ok,

optional is that i will keep the 4 spotted metynis in the tank. they dont eat java fern or hard leaves like anubias, do you thin wysteria will be ok?

how bout swords?

[Jennifer]

Both of those have pretty succulent leaves so my guess would be 'yes' on both accounts.

[henward]

so yes they SHOULD be ok?

[Jennifer]

Grrr, I clearly was in a hurry when I wrote that. :roll:

Yes, on both accounts that they could be eaten. They certainly are succulent enough to make a nice salad. My metynnis would mow through anything I put in the tank but this was over 10 years ago so I can't really recall what plants I sacrificed to them.

[henward]

mmmmm

thats annoying lol

will have to try a small sample first then on that regard.

if it grows fast enough, i think they might out grow the metynis desire to eat lol

well, heres me trying my luck.

[supasi]

It breakes quite easily. I imaging with your lighting it will get eaten faster than it will grow. Shame though as its such a nice plant.

[henward]

if thats the case i may have to transfer the metynis into the other tank.

[henward]

does ambulia need much light?

last time i had them they grow like weeks

but the tend to thin at the bottom stems if you dont trim them.

can you k eep trimming them and they keep getting thick lush growth at the bottom?

[Jennifer]

I have a lot of different types of anubias, all with good light, and they throw about one leaf per week or two. The leaves come from the centre (the tip) of the main stem.
