I recently bought a crayfish for my freshwater tank. He's about 3 inches long and is a really cool edition to my community. The only problem I have with him is that he completely ate three of my plants (leaves, roots, and all) and has almost destroyed the remaining two, which are giant java ferns. In fact, he ate the roots that were several inches long off of one of my java ferns, so I don't even know if it's going to be growing back (I found it floating at the top of the tank).
I don't want to get rid of my crayfish and I don't want to get rid of my live plants (simply because they look pretty and provide benefits for my fish). Is there any special kind of crayfish food or algae pellets or something that I can buy to calm his appetite?
