Managing Plants.

[PerryClem0842]

Hi all,
Which types of plants are the easiest to keep without dying or going brown?
will common plecos eat certain plants?
Can you give me some tips please?

easy plants:
java fern
java moss
anubias
amazon sword (reasonably)
crypts

these are the common ones but theres a lot of other plants out there

some plants melt. but they should send of new leaves

How big is your tank that you have a common pleco? They will get VERY large and ideally should be kept in tanks around 150 gallons I've heard.

It may eat the amazonian swords if it is hungry. But don't get a common pleco if you don't have a tank over 100G.
