it is in the nature of fish to nibble tiny things all day long. feeding fish more
isnt going to save fine roots. that is one reason I installed a veggie filter. it
is the roots drag all the wastes out of the water.

I may try this but I did have trouble with fish nibbling at the roots of
my hyacinth which allowed them to go yellow and eventually die.
How do I stop this? I feed the fish everyday during the summer months .

Feed more often. Many books recommend 2x day. 3x wouldn't hurt IMHO.
