Java Moss & A Java Fern
Hi,
I am thinking of getting one each of these, will the Clown loaches eat it?

The anubias depends on how your loaches behave. I have it in both my loach tanks and it does fine, no problems. I've heard of others having a really hard time with their loaches poking holes in it, so like I said it depends on your loaches personalities.

if you like the look of the anubias, its worth a try, as long as you are aware it may not last very long

stick with the java fern
you don't want java moss (well your filter intakes don't want it!)
I had gotten rid of java moss about two years ago and what did I just find recently...a little strand of java moss.
In a 55 gallon with 4 mature SAE who are know to eat it. One java moss is introduced it is very difficult to get rid of it!
ONce those clowns get bigger though (5ish inches) your java fern will be torn to shreds!

I had a java fern for a while, clowns didn`t destroyed it, so from my own experience, I recommend java fern.newshound wrote:stick with the java fern

If you can keep Anubias attached to bogwood near the surface of the tank and let it grow out of the water to some extent, the Clowns will leave alone and the Anubias does a lot better too. Plus it looks great growing just above and below the water surface if you don't mind dropping the water level just a little.
Doesn't show very well in this picture but these Anubias you can see above water level had three or four times as many smaller leaves below the water
