plecos eating cabomba
I have a bristlenose pleco that has been nothing but trouble to me for the
past 2 years. Despite being well fed, he massacres my Amazon swords.
Sorry to hear about your Cambomba..
I know some people are able to keep bristlenose plecos in heavily planted
tanks, but I have not had good luck. I will stick with SAEs and ottos,
unless someone lets me in on the secret to keeping plecos from eating
plants. I am all ears..

I've been working toward getting my 55g heavily planted for a while now.
At
the moment I have cabomba and a sword, both were doing very well, but a
week
or so ago the cabomba stems were becoming almost bare. I suspected someone
was eating them, and I have seen at least one of my two plecostomus
hypostomus fish apparantly doing so.
I have been feeding with sinking wafers which they seem to enjoy. Nothing
has changed that I know of. Any ideas why they suddenly are eating the
cabomba? And does this mean they will be eating other plants I buy?
thanks,
bob
