Re: [GSAS-Member] Anyone have or know where to get Crinum thaianum (onion plant)

I've seen Silver Dollars eat plastic plants, but maybe that's uncommon. They 
don't actually swallow the pieces - just spit them out and let them float 
around the tank.

I would think that they would eat Crinums.

(I've had Festivum cichlids eat Anubias, which surprised me.)

My silver dollars make a beautiful little school, but man, they eat just
about anything green. I read a forum post from another keeper that said in
his experience they won't eat crinums though. I'd like to find some. I hear
anubias are safe too but anubias has always grown so slowly for me that it
may as well be made of plastic.

So far they seem to be leaving a sword alone, but we'll see what happens
when the other snacks are gone. O.o
