SheKoi Fish Addict Posts: 667 Kudos: 553 Votes: 4 Registered: 11-Feb-2004	i've been noticing that some of the leaves on the plants in my 20g looked like they were being eaten! with only liverbearers, aqnd very small ranhorn snails in the tank i didn't know what was happening. had the snails for years now, they have never eaten the plants. but yesterday while doing a water change i noticed a small yellow magget type of creature on the underside of a leaf, once removed it started moving. it was about 1cm in length. any ideas?? www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk
