Which of my little botias is the plant eater?

2 Zebra
3 Polkadot
1 Yoyo

Which would you guess was nibbling my leaves? I'd hate to have to move them to the bigger tank, but I will to save the plants. The bigger tank has 9 4-7" Clown Loaches, 12 Tiger Barbs, 5 Brilliant Rasboras, and 5 R&B Columbia Tetras.

My money's on the yoyo. Mine love poking holes in leaves.

I'd say they're all probably guilty of it. My polkadots, CL's, and Yo-yo's have all done it, so I don't see why the zebra wouldn't... Feeding them extra veggies helps to curb that behavior a bit in my tanks, though.

Yep, my vote i for all of em. Heck once one of em got a taste of your plants you know that they shared that info with the rest. As long as I remember to keep veggies in my Cl's and Angelicus' diet they leave my plants alone, but if they don't get any for a few days, then they enjoy very fresh salads right of the stalk.

I'd say the yoyo would be the biggest culprit. I've never seen my zebras bite the plants, but they are a bit smaller than my other botias. My modestas are by far the worst. My swords look like lace ferns.
