Yo know the one thing about plant eating fish that i have a constant in my tanks .. The little terds eat the most challenging plant that I have , or my favorite wich ever they get to first .
I have some reineckii and everytime I get a new bunch of it the fish tear it apart inside a day 3 tops its gone down to the roots !
It kills me cause they wont touch the ones I actually planted for them to eat that are suppose to taste good an tender and all that nooo they go after the hot pink hard to grow plant
I am almost to the point of not replantin it any more , every red or purple anything gets eatin . The plant im crying about is " telanthera , cardinalis ( alternanthera reineckii ) to be specific if y'all wanna look it up an get an idea of what it is .
Does this happen to anyone else ? If so what do your fish eat ?
What do you plant for them to eat and what is doin the eating ?
My guppys are the worst about eating my plants but the rest of the tank helps them .
I would like to try to get something in their that they will be drawn to and stay away from my prize plant any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .
