today i was watching them swim around after they were fed.
i noticed 2 of them started munching my amazon swords that ive had in there for about a month or so.

weird??

they are about 3.5-4.5inch

i also have a mother amazon plant in the tank i might sell as well...

ive tried multiple times to keep swords in my p tank they just destroy them im not sure y this is either...i may switch to fake plants

i also had that experienced with my P's but i changed it with a driftwood with plastic plant on it.
if you put real plants you'll just be wasting your time and money.

I don't think I'd notice if mine munched on a plant ....

In the wild RBPs will "cut" plants down to make nests. With these still being juvies it's possible they are either "practicing" or they are simply messing you tank up. What do they do after the cut the swords down? nothin or do they pile them?
