I was just wondering if anyone know any good tricks for keeping plants from being uprooted and shredded by larger fish. I do not want to do artificial but it might be my only choice unless there are tricks I don't know. Ideas?
I've seen the same setup used to keep piranha with other South Americans. Looked pretty cool.An old school trick for maintaining plants along with plant-wreckers is to use a lengthwise-split tank. Plants in the back third, fish up front with rockwork. The glass divider can even have a weir overflow to turn the plant section into a refugium as part of the overall system filtration.
