here is a list of the fish in my 150 gal set up. i cant figure out which one is tanking holes out of my amazon swords
polyepterus senegalus
gibbbiceps pleco
bala sharks
irridescent sharks
geophagus
angelfish
pim pictus catfish
giraffe nose cat
black ghost knife
pearl gouramis
please help me figure out which fish is doing so i can relocate them to my fifty five gal tank
 
the gibbiceps? but could be damage from the activity of alomst any of the other too though
 
its not so much damage as it is plants that look as though they've been chewed
they dont get uprooted just eaten
 
My common plecos use to do the same thing with my swords. I think my balas did to but I can't remember.

can you recommend plants that wont get eaten?
 
gibbbiceps pleco
bala sharks

My bala nibbles on pretty much everything...
 
shouldnt have that pleco in with your bichir anyways, most likely the plec is the culprit
 
i dont want to sound like i dont know what im doing cause sometimes i like to pretend i do but why do you say i shouldn't have the pleco with the bichir?
 
from your list. I highlighted in red those that are definitely not responsible for your plant damage...

now if I had to guess, I'd say its the pleco.
