Aquarium Advice FINatic
I've just been to my lfs and seen some really healthy looking Amazon sword plants. They would fit in at the space i have at the back of my tank really nicely.
My problem is my pleco! Ive had these plants before, they survived her desire for there leaves but it made the plant look tatty. I read that i could just put some lettuce/cucumber in there to take the attention off of the plant. I dont really like doing that though, i do it every 1-2 weeks but i think it looks a bit silly.
I was wandering if i could put some other bushy plants around it so she wouldnt be able to eat it or would find it difficult to get to or even not see the plant. I know she would get to leaves higher up but thats better than lower down. The bushy plants i bought are really fine so she wouldnt be able to sit on them which would be touching the sword plant and make her jump onto it. (sorry, i couldnt figure out how to word that)
I think she's either a bumblebee dwarf, common dwarf, or female dwarf bristlenose (if poss)
If you have any hints or suggestions they will be appriciated.
Thanks in advance.
