What can i do to stop my vallisneria (spiralis "tiger") to stop uprooting?
I dont actually know how it uprooted, (beginner planter) but i dont think my fish had anything to do with it,

I have 3 Kois 5-6"
1 Pleco 2-3"
1 Feather Fin Catfish 2-3" (he/shes active though, darting around the tank)
1 Silver Arowana 5-6" (doesn't swim lower than the middle of the tank)
and 1 great pond snail, (larger than a golf ball, Never mesured him, he doesn't bother the plants as hes always in one place for days)

Can I use rocks to weigh down the plants? or should i try using a divider to seperate my fish and the plant until the plant is strong enough?
Thanks - :)
 
Fine playsand and little bit of fertilizer pills. oh well, the koi started to munch on the leaves just lastight and tonight its down to the roots, thanks anyways.
