Hi all,

I have a variety of Loricariids, including some that like to occasionally
graze on plants (e.g,, small P. maccus), but the damage they do is minimal
if the plants are healthy and growing rapidly. My 6" royal pleco, however,
can go through 3 lettuce leaves a night, and decimates any live plants in
its tank.

Does anyone on the list keep Panaques (ie, a Loricariid genus [pleco]) in
planted tanks?
