pleco eating plants ?

[Stanley Robert]

I have a 4" common pleco I recently introduced in my tank to take care of an algae problem but recently I noticed my echinodorus have small holes in the leaves would the pleco do this ? it isn't a nutrient problem for sure . what do you think ?

Do you feed it veggies?

It might not be a nutrient problem for your Echinodorus but it could very well be a nutrient problem for your plecostomous. Supplementing his diet would likely lessen his appetite for the live plants. Is the algae growth eliminated?
