I think one of my fish is eating my amazon sword plants,I have 7 glass catfish, 12 ghost shrimp, 1 bristlenose pleco and a Black ghost knife.
 
except for the knife, the others can eat plants !
 
Bristlenose plecos can if their diet is inadequate. What do you feed your BN pleco? How often? Which plants were eaten?
 
:iagree:
 
yeah im going pleco cuz aren't glass cats insectivores? and ive never heard of ghost shrimp or knives eating plants, interesting
 
It's definitely your pleco. I feed mine very well on vegetables and gel food, but they still rasp on the amazon swords. Guess they prefer living plant tissue, and since I don't have algae, they eat the swords. I had to remove all swords from tanks with BN plecos, and remove all my BN plecos from my planted tank.
