It’s in a 55gallon with 15 tiger barbs and clown pleco , so guess the tiger barbs ate it?, I mean the shape looks like bite marks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I kind of googled that, they will eat plants but most people seem to be saying they wouldn't bother with Anubias. But being oportunistic fish that's possible. Does your cousin feed to sparingly?? Are there other softer plants in the tank? It seems they would go for those first if at all.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hmm. Both tough plants I think. Maybe the barbs are testing their limits with the plant. Maybe he should try blanched spinach! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBWell Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) That poor anubias! Has anyone ever noticed any of the fish picking at that plant? Edited October 8, 2021 by DannyBWell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
