Good evening,
I wonder if anyone had any experience (a bad one ) with amanos eating plants, mainly sagittaria and hydrocotyle varieties.
I kept 4 amanos in a 30l cube heavily planted with lava rocks for several months with no issue, when moved to a larger 64lts, low tech, walstad tank, they started eating the resident plants. The new tank is a fairly new setup but mature enough to offer biofilm, I also feed heavily with leaves and commercial algae wafers.
They are voracious, eating 4 large dandelions leaves in 2 dd, and they still have an appetite left for the live plants.
I attach few pics, the plants most attached are not dying and not appear to be suffering.
Any comment is welcome, thanks
On the web I found only few reports like this.
