PattysAquatics Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 So I have a pretty heavily planted tank and some inhabitant has been eating some of my anubias leaves for months and not sure which it is . The inhabitants in my tank bosmani Rainbows, Congo Tetras, Odessa Barbs, cardinals, Ember Tetras, hillstream loaches, Cory’s, green fire tetras, neon green rasboras, rummynose rasboras, Siamese algae eater, peacock gundgeons, rabbit snails, ramshorn snails, Nettie snails, and Malaysian trumpet snails. who do you think is eating them? I have seen the rabbit snails eat on a sword I had but have never seen them on the anubias before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any of those fish would eat Anubius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) The only way most snails will munch plants is if the plant leaf is already dying. It may not be visibly dying to our eye but snails usually know before I do if my plant is having issues. Unless they are not getting enough food then my plants are fair game.
