Can someone check the list in my sig and tell me who the cuplrit(s) is?
I'm tired of coming home and finding 2-3 plants floating and lots of little bits of bitten off leaves.
(These fish are real smart...they wont do it while I am watching them :laugh: )

Odds are that it'e the plecos or the sharks. Fast whipping tails will uproot plants like there's no tomorrow.
as far as someone eating them...that's hard to tell.

Clowns like to dig in the gravel looking for snails. They also root through the leaves and stuff, but IME don't actually eat the plants. They do do some damage, though.

the plecos will often go on the leaves, damaging them. it's probably them or the shark.

if you have a some algae growing on the plants then most of ur fish could be nipping at them..
my guess would be the pleco, most plecos try to eat algae off the plants and they sometimes uproot the plants in the process...
try to observe ur tank during midnight.. u'll be surprised at how active plecos and clown loaches are, maybe u can see for urself who the culprit is :duh:
