Hi everyone, I'm new to MFK and I need some advice on a topic. Plants and plecos and other herbivorous eating fish. I'm really experienced, been in the hobby for six years, and I've been working at a local fish store for over a year. But there's been a rock in my path. I want live plants in my tank. I have a 55 gallon Amazon biotype fish tank. With a Orbit marine LED lighting system with timer, a sand substrate with an aqua top canister filter with LED and with 2 big chunks of driftwood and a couple of rocks with fake plants. I like the fake plants, but I want the tank to be even more natural. I want to replace the fake plants with live aquatic plants native to the Amazon river or Orinoco river region. But I need some plants that will take a beating from 2 snowball plecos, a columbian spotted pleco, two black bar silver dollars (the smaller kind), and soon to be in the tank, 5 red tailed chalceus, and 5 three spotted earth eaters. Any advice from anyone who is experienced in this is greatly appreciated.
