Something Eating My Plants!?

[matalan]

Ok so Currently i have noticed gradually more and more of my plants are becomming more, Well Less and less of plants, as it seems most have slight bite marks so to say, holes and chew parts in them. and i cant think why!.

I have got 5 Zebra danios, 5 Guppys, and 2 siamese algae eaters, and 2 cherry shrimp, can it be theres, or are my plants struggling from some sort of lack of slight etc?

I also notice i have had 1 Snail in the tank, quite a larged shell on it but i think its just a pest, when i next see it, its going Down! Could it be him?

Ok, so after a water change i noticed i had some sort of what i can only describe as a caterpillar, I didnt even know these could live in water? What is it exactly, very small, very caterpillar like.

Sounds like a type of insect larvae. Certain insects lay their eggs in water (your fish tank) and when their larva develop they will be hungry (and eat your plants lol). I believe that its probably a type of moth larvae. If you take it out when you see it then your problem should be solved.
