Plants Getting Eaten!!!!!

[kenrc51]

I have recenlty added alot of new fish to my fully planted 55. Recenlty all my banana plnats and some of my amazon swords are getting eaten! WHo is eating them?? I can't see any fish doing it during the day!!

Here are the fish:

8 (2-7") discus
1 archer
1 synodytis cat
1 pictus cat
1 pleco
1 retic sting ray
...............................any ideas??
is it the archer??

Pelco for sure, maybe archer and sting ray. Take the pelco out and see if your plant will grow back.

Wow, I am surprised, I thought that most aquatic animals found it unpalatable.

In general you're right. However, crayfish and argus have no mercy with anything green. Any other species?

hi pal bascially the fish that you have are not plant friendly fish may be you should consider removing them?
