Leporinus and Pothos roots

[mrrobxc]

Hey guys, I’m debating picking up some Leporinus Granti and I wanted to ask if anyone knew how they would do with the pothos roots.

Does anyone have any experience with any species of Leporinus with Pothos roots in the water column?

Leporinus fasciatus and pothos is a no go IME. Even if they where well feed all the time they ate everything i did put in the tank. Even tried to eat plastic plants not to mention fins on other fish. leporinus is like an cigarrshaped pacu. Or at least fasciatus is.

I appreciate the feedback. Really wanted some of the granti for my 280. Do you know if Tiger Striped Fasciatus would eat Pothos roots?
