I'm fairly new at the aquarium thing; I've had this 20-gal tank since
August. I've got 12 neon tetras, an angel, a glass cat, a pair of pearl
gouramis, some zebras, white cloud tetras, a couple of algae-eaters, and
a pair of kribensis.
The problem is that the kribensis keep chewing up the plants -- at least
I think it's the kribensis doing it. Is there anything I can do to stop
'em? I've considered these possibilities, but haven't acted on any of
them:
They need more food (more flakes and less between-meal
plant-munching)
I need to find a kind of plant that tastes bad or
grows faster
I should set up a second tank as a plant farm, to keep
ahead of these rascals
Plant-munching is a sign of sexual frustration; I should
find mates for them
I should get some plastic plants and give up on the
real ones
Any hints or comments on any of these would be welcome. Thanx!
