Clown loaches and anachoris

Anyone have experience keeping cl's with anachoris? My cl's love to consume cucumbers, but would anachoris work? I also have some rosy barbs. need some opinions

I seem to remember mine with leaves plucked off. Either the yoyos or the clowns did but I caught both boring holes on the Amazon swords and crypts.

I have 6 clowns with a mid sized bunch of Anacharis living together for a good 3-4 weeks. Back when I used to have 3 clowns, I have lots of Anacharis co-existing with them for about 5-6 months before I chucked the plant out.

It does work, and the strange thing is that my clowns always prefer to eat the more expensive plants. It sucks when you spend $30 on plants only to have everything floating by the end of the week.

how common is it for clowns to eat plants like crypts and swords? has anyone found a good way to hide the roots from the hungry buggers?

Place pebbles on their bases. Leaves are often the most vulnerable.
