plants and yabbies
 

I have a tank, with yabbies (two large ones) and I am wondering if anyone
knows if their are plants which I could put in my tank, which the yabbies
wont eat? (They eat every plant I have had, including plastic! lol silly
yabbies).
Can anyone help me or am I doomed?

Let's see, if I recall "The Crocodile Hunter" correctly, a yabby is an
overgrown crayfish. They get so big, I don't know if any plants are safe.

You might try Anubias. They do well in low light, and have tough, bitter
leaves that herbivores often avoid. They're the only plants that my friend's
8" goldfish won't touch.

I don't even know what yabbies are, but I have successfully grown
"Jungle Val" and java ferns in a tank of goldfish. The val is tougher
than plastic, and the java fern must taste bad or something.

Sword plants *might* be OK, I've grown them with goldfish too, but the
gf will pull up small sword plants.

Best regards,
Bob
