Fishtank Fanatics
Any of you Fishtank owners have the link for Greenlines website? I am in desperate need of more plants and can't find their website
Also can anyone recommend any plants that my Tinfoil barbs won't eat they never used to touch the plants but now they are getting bigger they tend to eat anything from stones - plants and even guppies
any help appreciated.

Here you go http://www.aquaticplants.eu.com/
As for the Tin Foil Barbs, drop chunks of peeled Aubergine or Cucumber into the tank. Weigh it down with the lead strips that come with plants if they dont eat it from the surface. If its not eaten within 24hrs remove and replace with fresh as the stuff stinks after a while and can mess up your filtration system. Java Fern is also a plant renound for not being eaten by fish. Hope this helps.

wazo I know malawi's don't like Java fern but unfortunately my tinfoils do
Prodriva cheers for the link muchly appreciated! Used to add cucumber a lot mainly for all of the plecs in the tank but it used to mess up my filters all the time ... wether this was because they were cheaper filters rather than the standard Juwel filtration? Will give it another try and I must also try the aubergine! have to admit never tried that one before!
thanx guys

Apologies, been on the Carlsberg this afternoon. I meant to say courgette not augerbine. My clown loach and algae eaters just love courgette. Try a lettuce leaf also if the tinfoils prefer to eat from the surface.
