    Very nice, healthy and greenish plants. Beautiful setup..
    Foreground looks pretty empty though. Sad to know that rummy noses destroyed ur H.C.

    Thanks yaya, yeah its sad but true. I wonder since why are my rummy noses so bent on eating up all the H.C, they are now taking a liking for the amazon frogbit roots as well! If it were one or two of them I'll be fine but if one eats, the entire gang joins in.

    Anyways, I'll be getting a mixture of normal hairgrass and japanese hairgrass in the near future to fill up the void when I can find the time to do so.

    That will a bad news if rummy noses really eat up all the frogbit roots? Touchwood. why not try to catch them? Hope to see new progress and updates of your tank when the hairgrass fill in the foreground.

    It'll be a bit troublesome to catch 60 plus of them, the frogbits are still surviving and there's no more H.C for them to chew on. So for the time being, I'll let them be, they've been in the tank since mid 2006.

    Thanks ahkarboy, that's peacock moss and taiwan moss. I might be stripping the taiwan moss off in favour for peacock, its much much nicer and apparently happens to be "SAE" proof too, the two SAEs I have never touch the peacock moss and even if they do, there isn't any damage on the old and new fronds.

    Yeah my SAEs apparently chew on the taiwan moss and can effectively remove all its fronds in a small batch in a day.

    Thank god I only have 2 adult ones.

    Rummy nose eating plants? Hmmm... First time I have heard of it. Mine didn't bother the plants at all.

    Or are they trying to pick on food stucked between plants? My barbs, rasboras and tetras do that all the time, sometimes picking on the roots of floating plants.

    Perhaps feeding them more will do the trick of stopping whatever they are doing.

    Heh, they're definitely not picking food up in between the plants, they are indeed feasting on the plants.

    Initially my thoughts were that they were actually probably getting food stuck there, but upon closer inspection, they were eating it up. I feed them bloodworms actually and I suspect one thing about these rummies of mine; they're plain greedy.

    Ken, sad to say, yeah they fit the role of an omnivorous fish.

    Adult SAE's are not to be kept in planted tank. I've noticed that because they have bigger mouths, they can eat bigger leaved plants when they're hungry!
    And when they feel like trimming...

    Seems like they are not eating enough. Try to tempt them away from plants by using frozen bloodworms. And feed them more often...haha...

    Bro grey_fox, your gang of rummy nose is a disguise of some bug or pest is it? I still cannot believe unless i saw it with my own eyes.
    Anyway it is quite annoying to see faunas doing riots in a planted tank. Imagine your tank is filled with H.C., it will be really impressive man~
    If i were you, i would do something to the rummy nose. If i can't catch them, i will have other way to destroy them.
    Anyway just a comment. don't take it so serious.

    Cheers.

    I can catch the rummies actually, they're greedy so it'll be an easy job. Yeah was hoping for a H.C lawn

    Anyways, they've stopped attacking the bolbitis. I've just inserted some glosso in, they initially ate a bit of it but stopped. Hopefully they'll stop on a permanent basis.
