Hi at the moment i have silk plants because my plec will eat real plants but the plec is getting to big and is going to go back to my LFS .What i want to know is will clowns eat plants as they love veggies so much .

I have never had my clowns take one bite of my plants although they will check them out for fallen bits of food. What I did have problems with was having them bulldoze them up out of the gravel until they were firmly rooted. I solved that problem by putting rocks on the plant bases(where the roots are) until they were rooted. and some here have heard the tale I told about putting plant tabs under my plants then the clowns dug every last one of them up. I guess they thought I was hiding food from them LOL.

Dont know if you still check this topic boff but they do eat plants, especially te stem of plants not so much the leaves.
My loach loves to eat them i have to throw the plants out every couple of days and re stock the little buggar

Hi that sounds onioning having to change your plants all the time .Do you put veggies in for them because mine love courgette, and that might take there minds off your plants.

Maybe thats why mine don't eat or even nibble my plants because I too feed them veggies.
