alexyay Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 So, today I found the culprits that have been eating away at the mint and pepper plants growing out of the top of my tank. I'm assuming they're something along the lines of "green looper caterpillars". My questions are: - Should I be worrying if they fall into the tank, toxicity-wise? One suggestion is to use flour on the plants to cause the caterpillars to fall off, but I'm not so keen if it's not safe for them to fall into the tank (manual removal of them looks to be my best option at the moment). - It's been suggested I feed them to a fish. Again, toxicity-wise, is this a good idea? :facepalm: I have a feeling they've been there a while, based on how long I've had bite-sized holes on the plants. Only noticed them today, and picked off 7 of the little buggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
