Ba Tetra Eating Plants

[RyanV]

Hi again

I have a 55 gallon tank currently stocked with 6 bueno aires tetra, 6 tiger barb, and a red tailed shark. I have two anubius plants in there now along with anacharis and they are doing very well and the BA tetra have never eaten them. Today I went and got 2 argentine swords and I noticed the BA tetra eating it like it was salad There are only a few leaves left now..

My question is what plants do you know of that they won't eat? I don't want to just have anubius and anacharis..

Your tiger barbs are vegetarians too, I wonder if putting in a nice crisp lettuce leaf pegged to the top of the tank might work as it does for tiger barbs?

I never saw them eat any of it, but I will try the lettuce leaf. Are there any plants I can add that they don't eat?
