    here isnt anything u can do. in the wild gourmais eat plants so pet gurmais eat plants. there is a certain plant that fish do not eat...

    they have stuff at petsmart that you spray on the plant and its supposed to create a scent that keeps them from eating it for a month or so.

    not quite sure, perhaps you might want to put some plastic plants instead.
    Best of luck.

    Try a bit of spinich tied to a rock in the tank they should eat that instead of your plants, works on my green sevrums.

    hmmm, not a bad idea, im going to try that one, the reason why i want the real plants is because of how good they are with the oxygen and carbon dioxide thing. i have an airator and all but the plants also have a nice look.

    Well im trying the idea for putting the vegies on the rock, though is it safe to use rubber bands?
