Buy 1-2 assassin snails, and wait for the empty shells to show up.

It could be snails, but the leaf in question does look to be emersed growth, so it could be dying off and that's why they are eating it. Another question is are there any bn, otos or farlowella of any sort in the tank? They too will munch on dying growth.

I might say plecos then... The loaches should be controlling any snail issues? Is it all your leaves or just the few?

On that plant it was just a few, but it seems some of the other plants got chewed as well , on some of their leaves as well. It just seems odd because I put some floating lettuce plants and I think whatever they had on them could have been introduced by carrier???

Trim the dead/dieing leaves... And see if this continues on the healthy, lush leaves.

I did some trimming , water changes, I'll just have to monitor it for now? My Vals are quite long now almost 6 ft. I was just wondering if I should cut them back and how much should I cut?
Rite now it looks kinda neat and I like the way how it moves in the water. The fish really dig it !!!
The plant in the pics is a marble queen sword by the way .

Leaving those clowns in with the discus I hope! A certain someone has been bugging a certain other someone about how clown loaches and african cichlids don't belong together....
