I know how you feel! I can't even have floating plants in my gar tank or they will even try eating those and tear them apart! Once you have them on a good mixed diet, their isn't much they wont try eating.

Yep! Mine too...they will snap at any water disturbances and even things out of the water that they feel close enough to grab.
