hey guys, a question from one of my mates who keeps silver dollars in a 80 gallon tank, he has had problems with the little blighters eating his live plants and wants to know which ones they wont touch, he would prefer low tech ones but he doesn't mind ones that are harder to keep.

Hi :) just to ask about why my ottos are not eating the zucchini i put in for them, they are always munching on the (now scarce) algae on the glass so i was putting some blanched zucchini in for them with a stainless steel mini spoon. They just skim past it. How can i make them recognize that...

Thanks
