Who is eating my plants?

[rbotto]

I have a nice 55 gallon planted aquarium, but my dwarf sags have been eaten. I can't catch any fish in the act. Could it be the corydoras cat? I also have red fin shark, swordtails, plecostomas, headstander, gouramis, clown loaches, and a variety of tetras.

Clown loaches have been known to punch holes in even the toughest plants, though I do not believe they actually each them

Pleco's have very raspy teeth that strips the outter layer off of many plants. Swords will died if a pleco tries to eat off it, so it may be the culprit

Gouramis don't really eat vegetation, but they do tear stuff up to build their bubble nests (or for no apparent reason as in my case -_-)

I had a rainbow shark, which is pretty much the same as a RTS, and they didnt eat live plants. Corys dont either.

Clown loaches!

[Incredulous_Ed]

I think it's the pleco!

Any baby snails? they chomp little holes in my temple plants.

Gotta be the loaches. Mine shred every piece of greenery they see. They'll eat a huge romane lettuce leaf in hours.

loaches and plecos

I have no trouble with clown loaches eating the actual plants, just uprooting them.
