[Green Thumb Aquatics]

Aulonocara sp are good at not eating plants, I have never had them eat any of the plants, and they have been in planted tanks for the last couple years...

generally each of the males have a place they will dig out a little, you need to let them have this small area and they will leave the rest alone, so although you may have to rescape some during the first month or so of a new setup, after that you know where you can put plants and where you cant, generally the area is only a few inches around, the Ngara already staked his claim on a little spot over in the rocks on the left, nice and out of the way where not many plants were anyway, we will see with the others.... also that is why I wanted to add CO2 to this tank as it would give the plants a chance to root faster so they could not be pulled up
