Echinodorus serial devastator
Suddenly, something is destroying, one-by-one, my long Echinodorus
leaves. They're being reduced to skeletal leaves at night. I have Ancistrus, Otocinclus and Upside Down Catfish. Which do you think is the guilty party? Is it a coincidence that my tank PO4 level is now a lowish 0.1 ppm? Are they starved of algae and resorting to eating leaves? If BBA is still hanging around I can presume that the stuff they thrive on is still present. Nikki

Poor buggers. I must be starving them! I just boiled a mini zucchini
(courgette), cut it into small chunks and dropped it in. They do seem partial to it, even my mollies!
