Just to say I feel your pain - my tinfoil barbs have eaten the java moss I painstakingly tied to some slate - the buggers

Most likely to be the Yo-yos, but some tetras will nip at plants

Oh.... didnt realise there were replies
Thanks guy

Im starting to think its the plec thats going around eating my plants it only seems to be broad leaves that get eaten and mainly the middle part of the leaf.

Does anyone know how to stop them doing this? or do i just find plants that they dont like?
