Would like to add live plants
I would like to add live plants to my freshwater 55 gal aquarium. I have
tried some in the past but the fish eat the plants faster than they grow and after a week or so nothing remains. I have 4 large silver dollars which seem to eat up the live plants the fastest. Is there anything I can do to prevent this or should I stick to plastic? I have only tried 2 or 3 plants at a time. I thought it I put in a lot of plants they would have a better chance of growing faster than the fish can eat them. Any ideas? Andy Arhelger |

Silver dollars are notorious plant eaters--your best bet is to stick to
plastic---sorry. lowcoaster "Andy Arhelger" wrote in message ... I would like to add live plants to my freshwater 55 gal aquarium.
