My Angelicus do punch holes in my amazon swords if I don't feed them enough cucumber. My CL's do it too, so my guess is you should expect it with most botiine loaches. Just keep feeding them veggies & they won't eat your plants. Their digging has always been my issue, though. They love to dig around in my sand, which occasionally uproots a plant or two. They are always hungry, so the best method for me is just to throw a slice of cucumber in every morning & leave it all day. They love to punch holes in it with their little nozzle-mouth until all thats left is the skin. Their social & feeding behavior is much different than the CL's, so let me know if you need more info before purchasing them (at 12 or 13 bux apiece!)
i know, the little buggers are expensive! i heard elsewhere that they wont damage plants..... im still looking at options for what i wanna get. thanks for your help!
Like I said, if you feed them properly (lots of veggies), they won't mess the plants up. They are definitely worth checking out!
I agree with JakeH. As long as you are feeding plenty of veggies they don't mess too much with the plant life. I have one Angelicus and a half dozen CL's in a live planted tank with several others and haven't had too many issues with them grazing as long as I keep them supplied with plenty of salad foods
