I've noticed some damage lately to some of my plants so I have removed the 4 prime suspects (2 smaller plecos & 2 clown loaches). Will the clown loachs do damage???

I would like to know if any other tennants might cause anymore damage.

They include; Otto Cats, Glass Cats, Raphael Cats, Gourami's, African Butterfly's, YoYo Loachs, Stick (wood) Shrimp, Congo Tetra's, Siamese Cats.

Thanks for the help...

Cheers!
 
whats wrong with your plants? do you have snails? fish can eat them but nutrient deficiency can be a culprit as well. do you have pics?
 
Loaches will mess with the plants a bit for sure!
 
Here's some pics of the damage. There's no snails in the tank, the temp is 78 and I'm using pressurized CO2 at about 6.7ph.

Clown loachs or the yoyo loaches?

And Guaramis would do damage???

Also, does any of it look like damage the Pleco's could do???

All I know is my pearl gourami will snack on plant leaves, and my Ancistrus and my oto won't.
