The one downside to those kinds of plants is their slow growth - if a
snail is only nibbling on them a small amount, it might still out-pace
the growth rate of the plant. Of course, I'm one of those unhappy folks
who has trouble keeping Java Fern alive - for all I know it isn't slow
growing at all.

Hehe, that may be the closest I ever come to fame

Eric,
Glad to use you as an info source, since you've been here awhile and seem to
know what you're talking about. Once I make you famous, do I get 10 percent
like other agents ?
haha

Seriously though, I've noticed that people who can't seem to grow java fern
either have high hardness/pH or not enough potassium in the tank. Have you
tried adjusting pH or using fertilizer with potash?
