Plecostomus and amazon swords

[Pleky plec]

Do all plecostomus eat swords? Mine has never been exposed to this plant and has been eating sinking pellets all it's life. Is there a chance he will never eat my amazon swords?

My pleco has never eaten any plant, but I've never had swords in my tank

I have swords and a pleco and the only issue I had was he kept hiding behind them when they were tiny and he killed one overtime by beating it up. Since then, the swords have matured and grown and I added a hidey hole for the pleco. No issues for a long time and he has never eaten them at all.

It depends on the species. Some plecos, especially the larger species, will rip up, damage, or otherwise destroy your plants.

If the pleco eats your plants you need to feed him sinking wafers.

Mine just chills out on the leaf, but then again this Amazon sword is 40" is diameter and is pretty much indestructible.

Lol ok. I think the best thing to do is give him away. because he uproots everything. And it's annoying.
