catfish and anubias ...

[owl]

hi .. does catfishes ( corys specially ) eat anubias ?

 

[snoopy65]

No, cory cats do not eat anubias.

 

[msjinkzd]

Nope, not at all. They don't really bother any plants.

Corys shouldn't bother any plant as jinx said.

i never could keep anubias in my tank , whenever i tried they just torn apart ,w lotsa holes on them .. i asked the guy in FS and he says the catfishes ate them ! i have no problem with other plants , i have anacharis ,cryptocoryne,cabomba and lotsa corkscrews ... so whats wrong ?

 

[customdrum]

maybe its pond snails eating them. i had some pond snails jump on the anubias and the lotus and go to town.

Pond snails (or any other snails) shouldn't be eating leaves unless they are starved. Otherwise they only go after already dead plant matter.

Anubias aren't picky but I would guess a nutrient/light deficiency over the corys eating them...

I am 99.9% positive that that cory's would never touch anubias. unless ofcourese they are starving and even then they probably wouldnt.

Talking about catfish, what about synodontis cats and plants, is that a problem?

Nope. Catfish don't have the mouth to "chew" on plants.
