my dalmation mollies have totaly distroyed all the plants in my tank. is there anything i can do to get them to leave the plants alone ??

What do you regularily feed your mollies. Spirulina might help.

And what plants do you have?

What kind of plants? Some plants like anubias barteri or nana do better, or even java fern.

Sometimes fish will tear into the finer-leaved plants like hornwort or anacharis, and then just go nuts and can't stop themselves, hehehe... Well, not funny when they just tore up all the plants you bougth them, but funny when you think about it...

The easiest thing to do is to have more plants than your mollies can destroy and avoid fragile plants!

HHmmm funny you should ask that question rofl3.gif

Any Gold fish plant is good for the mollies too. I would recommend anubias. The most common problem is algea on the leaves (which scars the plant), but mollies will pick off the algae. Also they are low light plants and as long as you have some sort of light, it's all good

Two birds with one stone ... or is that two fishes with one plant ?!?! blink.gif
