Planted Aquarium for Pleco.

[CoreyFoxx]

I'm getting conflicting advice about building a planted aquarium for my Common Pleco. I just got a 150 gallon tank and want to make it a planted one. Will my Pleco eat all the plants?

Hi all,
Some plants will be fine. Have a look at <"Java Fern Planted on sponges">.

Try anubias on driftwood. He'll gnaw on the wood but should leave the plant alone.

I had a group of 6 gibbiceps, they destroyed EVERY single plant I put in the tank, anubias, Java fern you name it they ate it. Generally the two plants listed above are fine, I guess to an extent it will come down to the individual fish.
