My water sprite (Ceratopteris thalictroides) has looked horrible ever since I added 3 gourami and doubled the number of Amano shrimp in my tank (3 to 6). Since the shrimp seem to spend a lot of time sitting on the water sprite, they are my main suspects although I have never actually seen them attempting to eat it. These days, my tank is always full of tiny fragments of water sprite. It looks horrible and is a massive pain to remove so I'm trying to figure out who is destroying it!! Does anyone have experience of Amanos eating this plant?
I am giving them "shrimp cuisine" granules every other day but I'm wondering if they are getting hungry in between feedings. I decided not to feed every day so that they would still eat algae, but my algae is mainly on the glass now (which they can't really deal with) so perhaps I need to feed the shrimp cuisine every day. The packet says to feed it multiple times each day which seems a bit excessive!
