Clown loaches eating Frogbit?

[meloyelo]

About 2 weeks ago I added some frogbit to my tank since I like the look of some floating type plants. I have clown loaches in there too and now almost all of the frogbit is gone. I assume they are the little munchers?

Thanks

What other fish do you keep? But yes clown loaches can/will eat some plants.

Small school of black skirt tetras, maybe a dozen peppered Cory's, and a rubber lip Pleco.

Alot of tetra's will eat plants so it could be your skirts. Pleco's, even your plant safe bristlenose and rubber lips will occassionally eat on plants. If I slack off on giving my BNP veggies during the week he will often times go rasp on sword leaves.

Interesting, I would have never thought it could be the skirts. At any rate, I guess I won't be getting any more frogbit. That didn't last anytime at all. Thanks.
