Pleco on amazon sword?

[Mrs.h2012]

Mh albino pleco seems to be really liking my amazon sword for some reason; almost always on one of the leaves. He won't eat a hole in the leaves will he?

Of course all snails are vegetarians and only eat plants but I don't know if that crosses over to all other bottom feeders/algae eaters but if it does than he might just be tempted to eat a hole in it

Actually not all snails are vegetarians, take assissin snails for example. But yes BNP will rasp on Amazon leaves sometimes. While they won't usually put a hole in it they will make the leaf tissue thin enough to see through. Mine does it every once in a while. You might want to increase your supplimental veggie feedings.

I feed zucchini slices every few days, should I be feeding more often than that?

I'd be sure to feed veggies every 3rd day. I also gently nudge mine off the amazon sword leaves whenever I see her on them. Thing is I have a huge tank with plenty of room for her to go to other places.
