If they didn't eat plants I'd be telling you to shut-up and take my money.

Wonder if they would bother with ludwigia. Its the only surviving plant I have with some Black Belt cichlids that ate everything else I put in the tank.

I think all plants are fair game with them.. I have a group of Spotted Silver Dollars (Metynnis lippincottianus) that devoured some ferns I had for months in a tank with Vieja melanura.. little lawn mowers..

The black belts ate the Java fern I had in the tank too. It was the last plant they ate but they still took it out. The ludwigia is still there though. They searched out other plants that were growing surrounded by the ludwigia.

Good luck with the ludwigia..

BTW how many and what size Black Belts are you keeping and what's been your experience with them? I have 6 juvie melanura (lago peten) (~4") that I'm growing out in a 210.. also have a pair of breidohi (rio salado) on their second spawn in another 210.. Love both of them.. I was thinking of getting a BB for another tank, but read all the horror stories about their aggression and held off..
