Just put in 2 plants in my 55 gallon with my Jack Dempsey's. They are "Echinodorus Paniculatus", also know as "Echinodorus Bleheri". They are HUGE!!! Are my Jacks going to destroy them? They are having alot of fun swimming in them atm...
in my 60 i go about 7 african cichlids with 5 or 6 live plants nd i got no problems no de rooting or eating them yet and its been this way for 3 months alomost lol
My Dempsey never bothered the plants. Then again between the rearranging by the oscars and the eating by the silver dollars and severums she never got time to.
And the crazy part is still up for debate.
