Plant Eating Fish

Just as a warning for anyone looking at fish for a planted aquarium, don't trust what you read in terms of fish and whether or not they will eat plants. I have some Rummynose Tetras in a planted aquarium and couldn't figure out why my Hemianthus Callitrichoides wasn't growing until I took a closer look and realized that it was being eaten. I couldn't understand why...I'd never heard of tetras eating a plant before, until I asked around online and found out that they do eat smaller leaved plants, like Glosso and HC. Up until now, I'd believed that only Silver Dollars and some hungry Plecos would eat plants. Since then I've been feeding them much more and they seem to be leaving the HC alone. So just as a word of caution, keep your fish well fed, even if they aren't supposed to eat plants, as they may discover they're a tasty snack.
