Hi Steve,

I have quite a bit of Anubias Nana in my tank and it flowers quite 
often. However almost every time SAE's gang up on it and reduce it
to a 'naked stem' as you have put it. I have no idea what to think 
about it..... perhaps just getting some vegetable matter they are 
missing in their diet???
