Re: [APD] Clown plecs

I believe it depends on several factors, especially how many plecos, how much more prefered grazing there is. A realtively small a
omount of grazing on swrods leaves will show no damage, the plant growth can ekkp ahead of hte grazing. If there are algae wafers available, this car reduce the grazing on sword leaves. If there are few small plecos and lots of sword surface, the grazing in any one area will be minimal -- not sufficient to show damage.  But overgrazing by pelcos can causesword leaves to be become awful, threadbare, holey messes.
