fish eating plants

Can someone please tell me which of the following fish is plant nippers?

Black mollies
Blue Jeramis
Sword tails
Lirictail mollies
Sailfin Mollies
Platys

Someone is nipping my plants, I dont like!! :motz:

 

Sword Tails Definably. I have a few in my tank and the plants are trashed.

 

And mollies, and Platys and Gouramis...

Pretty much all of them will chow your plants. The blue Gouramis like to build their bubble nests with plants...

 

I have kept gouramis and yes, they are fine unless they want to build bubble nests. Then destruction follows.

I have kept sailfin mollies and mine never touched a plant. Many people keep mollies for algae control. I don't think they will eat your plants...

I've never kept any of the other fish you mentioned so I don't know. Generally, live bearers are fine with plants. Guppies, for example, are pretty good at cleaning green algae off pretty much any surface and they leave the plants alone. I have a tank in which I grow out some cuttings and I keep around 40 guppies in there to provide a bit of NO3 waste. No plants are ever eaten and there is no algae whatsoever, despite the fact the tank gets a lot of sunlight.

 

All the above will eat plants

 

Stripes -- maybe this will help take a nice green fresh lettuce leaf, soak in hot water then put it in your tank. Use to do this for my silver dollars ...take the leaf out after a hour or so ...

 

I keep Sail fin Mollies and sword tails and I have a gourami and the Swords are the most destructive of them all the mollies will eat fine leaves not really big plants and as for Gouramis mine has never toughed my Plants

 

When i read the title "fish eating plants " i thought Fish-eating Plants.
What a sight it would have been!

 

That could be so cool to watch....lol

 

I have a carnivorous plant in my one tank... Not sure what it's called. Looks very similar to Hornwort.

 

PIC PLEASE THIS WE HAVE TO SEE

 

Ha ha its not as exiting as you might think Slagter is most likely referring to bladder wort!?

 

Yes... It is a bladderwort. Removed it from my main display the other day. It was taking over.
