I have a Silver Arowana about 12" long and just last night he started biting my fake plants in the tank. I did add 3 new little plants about 6-8" tall. One of those is the first one I saw him bite. But then he tried to bite the fake plants that have been in there for over a year that are about 15" tall and I have never ever seen him do that before. What does this mean is it really trying to eat them, or does he just not like them, or do they do this being territorial? Has anyone had an Arowana do this before?Any ideas welcome. Thanks. :confused:

My friends jardini ripped apart about 30 dollars of dwarf hair grass that had me laughing for a while. He didnt want to eat it but just wanted to puck it out and have about 500 stray grass strands flying around the tank lol. It seems he just wanted to mess it up possibly for fun. I would just leave them inside there for them to possibly play with?
