Something in my tank is eating my bacopa, but leaving all the other plants alone. I have several differet kinds of swords, crypts, red temple, broad leaf ludwigia, banana plants, val, onion plant, and some that I cant recall the names of atm. My bacopa seems to be the only one disappertin, all the leaves have been eating.

My tank inhabitants are blue and gold gouramis, SAE's, rope fish, albino, bronze and schwartz quaries, banjo catfish, upside down catfish, chery barbs, balck skirt tetras, emperor tetras, angelicus loach, yoyo loach, golden wonder kili fish, and an angelfish.\

My suspicions llay with the SAE's , but thats because I see them grooming the plants alot I think. Ive had bacopa before that did really well and they didnt touch it. I havent added any fish to this tank in a year, except one angelfish. Any ideas?

I have problems with leaves vanishing from my bacopa, too. Since they were mostly lower leaves, I assumed it was from a lack of light due to being shaded toward the bottom. (The only animals in the tank are a single betta, a bunch of MTS, and an amano shrimp) Are the leaves on your plant vanishing mostly from lower on the stems?

Nah, they are obviously eaten, I just have the stems in the tank now. The plant is healthy otherwise..
