Out of Africa Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hi all, I bought 3 x 2cm bns yest afternoon. I have a densely planted 4 ft standard tank with lots of driftwood and some visible algae. I checked out the tank today and I noticed algae had been eaten but there were quite a few holes in my anubias! Is this normal? They did have food apart from my anubias in the way of algae. Would sailfin plecos do the same? I want to get these instead! Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japes Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Sounds more than possible but I wouldn't be overly concerned as Anubias is an incredibly tough plant. If you find they continue to destroy the leaves you may want to feed them zucchini/cucumber/pumpkin or even algae wafers as although my experience doesn't cover this, I have read that they will eat plants when hungry.

CThompson Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I think japes is correct, but if it were I, I wouldn't put bristlenose or any sort of plecostomus into a tank where the plants are valued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Africa Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thanks guys. I was hoping on getting a pair of sml gibbis to add the finishing touch to what I consider to be a great looking planted tank. I guess I may have to reconsider that option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
