Crinum Thaianum(onion plant). google it , it looks just like a green onion. easy to grow. i have some in my cichlid tanks and they don't even mess with it. i have one that  has grown to the top of a 29 gal. and then spreads all the way across the top

Jo

Ok thank you. I'm googling now! Do you have a pic of that? I bet it is beautiful!

Angels eat plants?  I never knew!  I have 2 huge Amazon Swords in my 125 at the shop.  They started as baby plants.  The Angels never bothered them.
Always move forward. Never look back.

I have Vals and moss and they eat them like crazy. I have a small amazon I got recently and am afraid to put it in there. LOL

Really? I feed them at least 2 times a day sometimes 3 some special treats like blood worms or black worms at lunch time.

I've never seen them forage much on plants, except to pick fallen food on a leaf,etc....or clean for spawning

Not sure what this plant is, but it was huge and full. It is totally gone now. They had eaten a lot of it when this pic was taken.

Water sprite...LOL...my fry love it.....the only plant that angels really seem to like to nibble on...I've had parents spit fry onto/into them....stringers all over...like little vines..
