Plant-eating Kribs

[grottosandfins]

My kribensis live in one of the caves I make, but just outside the cave entrance, I placed some nice plants that I thought would provide good cover for the fry. HOWEVER, the kribs are apparently unappreciative of my efforts and are dining on their plants. Are there any plants that they won't eat?

plastic plants?

Perhaps Anubias barteri var. Nana and it's cousins... they have rather tough leaves.

i think the reason they are destroying that plant is because they can't see intruders of with the leaf in the way, angels will do the same thing if they lay thier eggs on an amazon sword.

I actually don't know what types of plants they are, but they're sure not plastic

maybe you could give us a brief description of the tank or pictures would be good.
