Help!! My Plants!!

[Caz]

BlankHi all
I have a figure eight puffer fish and he is brill apart from he keeps biting
my plants. I thought is was snails at first but i have seen him a number of
times doing it. He bites the leaves then spits it out. He doesn't attack
the other fish in the tank at all. I am feeding him once a day, do you
think this is enough or should I feed him more?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanx

feed them until they are no longer interested in the food...

also, they are said to be a brackish fish, and if there's no brackish water,
they lose their appetite... you might want to start harvesting the snails
and feeding him more often each day.... until they are adults, they like
smaller amounts more frequently, then you can go back to once a day after
they've grown a bit...
