	Finally: a "non diner plant"
tinfoil Big Fish Posts: 438 Kudos: 252 Votes: 1 Registered: 27-Feb-2003	As some of you know, my dear fish will eat anything that even looks green Well, I finally found one plant that doesn't get eaten! I got some water lettuce from a fellow tank keeper (4 meter, 845 gal. Central American tank ) The plants have been in for a week now and almost all of them are still there!

They even go after java fern . ^_^ [hr width='40%']"I'm alright, I'm alright It only hurts when I breathe"

Between the 12 of them (7 tinfoils, 5 spanner barbs), they'll eat 3 table spoons of peas per day (5 peas in one mouthfull ) aside from the regular flakes. Did I hear anyone say they're self propelled garbage compactors? You've gotta love them!
