your right about silver dollars, simply because there herbivores,, So
what's the answer with Silver dollars and a planted tank. Easy, give them
something they like to eat and they will leave your plants alone,
Stick a Silver Beet // Spinish // Chinese cabbage leaf in the gravel, and
see what happens,, they will chew it to the gravel, next day new leaf, They
will also grow at a good rate with this food, and the bonus is the tank
stays planted.. They will ignore your low protein plants , in favour of
the high protein Spinish leaves.
