What type of fish won't eat my plants?!

[Ashton_MT]

hey eveyryone ! I need advice on what type of fish i can get that wont eat all of my plants. I was thinking Discus at first but the PH of my water is too high and I hear they are sensitive fish. I find that chemicals dont work to lower my PH and the driftwood I have is still soaking. So oscars will destroy them as well as cichlids. and I would prefer not having any fish like mollies or guppies. Do I have any options? Ps I have a 55Gal.

I have tetras, rummy noses, glo lite, neons, and as center piece I have discus and rams. Definitely rams. German blue rams or Bolivian are good with plants.

Most of them will but you should research the ones you want

Many of there species nibble on plants. Rams, apistos, kribs, rasboras, cory's, white clouds, oto's, danios, betta's, threadfin rainbows,and a few tetra species are plant safe as are alot of other species. Along with Discus. Many barbs and tetra species are plant nibblers, angels are, loaches can do plant damage more so than plant nibbling, so you get the picture.

You can also lower your Ph/Kh/Gh by using RO water and tap water during WC's.
