I have clown loaches who are known to perforate some of my
plants. I've been able to significantly reduce (but not
eliminate) this problem by offering pieces of cucumber or
zucchini on a regular basis. This seems to satisify the little
darlings need for vegetation. I think I got the idea from an
earlier post by Karen Randall, where she suggests affixing
fishing line to the offering for subsequent easy retrieval. BTW
clown loach holes are distinctive in that they have kind of
horseshoe shape.
