It eats the leaves just like you say it does. I think last year someone recomended that you submerged the lilly under the water say with a stick. Any bugs on the leaves will go into the water, and then hoppfully they will be eaten by the fish. Do this a few times a day for a couple of days and see if this works. All advice given here may or may not be correct. It`s just an oppinion. -- SEE YER.. IAN P. GARDNER SOUTH ENGLAND ISLE OF WIGHT. www.gardner44.freeserve.co.uk |
