why why why fish must u eat my plants??

[evelyn80]

grr im gettin angry now. i started out with 10 bulbs. 6 started to grow and were eaten as the roots came out. 3 more got placed after the others were eaten. they got eaten as well. i got 1 bulb left in my betta tank that seems to be doing good. the tanks un heated though so im concerned for its growth. it's a red lilly bulb thats growing so will it be ok? and will it be eaten after its grown up and placed in a tank? thx!

what fish are eating them?

If it's a betta, I highly doubt he's eating your plants, Bettas are carnivorous.

You do not have any plant eaters on your list of fish. Have you added a pleco or some SD??

:rofl: :rofl:

It's possible that the angels are the ones who ate the plants.:grinyes: Had them destroy all my Nymphaea lotus.:cry:

just be forewarned that red tiger lillys get a little bit on the big side. Just one bulb has taken over a 12"x3" space I gave it to grow in. So far if keeps this up it may wind up growing into the crypts, which they themselves have a pretty sizeable chunk.

From what you said , it seems your discarding the bulbs?the bulbs are still good even if they are eating the roots.

as for the bulbs i threw away most of em cause they sat in the water for 2 weeks with development after the roots were eaten
