Have you guys been annoyed about that pleco knocking over your aquascape? :silly: Of course, I believe plecs are not doing it on purpose......
Careless bristlenose pleco knocking over aquatic plants

it's just one of those things you have to deal with when a pleco gets to be a couple inches or more. they're not graceful swimmers, so anything that can be moved by them probably will be.
pleco and plants
my pleco kept digging up my plants at night and eating them. Since I started putting a leaf of lettuce a day in the tank, he leaves my plants alone. The pleco loves the lettuce. He prefers the lettuce over the plants.

I agree. Plecos are poor swimmers and you're correct in stating they're not doing it on purpose, NF.
I had to move my pleco out of my planted tank since he was damaging the leaves, he's huge! and I really like him, but watching him ruin weeks worth of growth made me so mad! now I love him again in my floating plants tank.
Same here. Three, the males, of my five are getting fairly large and no problem with them and the plants.
