I have had my 3 gold Burmese loaches for about 6 months now and just recently decided to add live plants to the tank. They don't touch the java fern, java moss, or Anubis but they are eating all the smaller leaves off the 2 big amazon swords I got. I can't find any info saying they are plant eaters. Anyone else have experience with this?-

Mine had a tendency of ripping the leaves off or punching holes in them. I took care of that by feeding them an algae wafer every day. After a few weeks they left my plants alone. I'd still recommend that you only keep tough plants like anubias and java fern though. Those plants are harder for them to damage and apparently don't taste as good.
