Common Pleco And Live Plants

[Mako Man111]

Will a common pleco mow down live plants? or are they ok? I think I have a gibby based on it's markings.

This is in a 105 Gallon Tank btw.

It wont eat them... but will easily dis lodge them

We try to place rocks and wood around the bottoms of the plants to stop them getting dug up

As long as the plants are established and firmly rooted to the substrate, and you leave clear area's of the tank for the pleco to swim about in, the plants will be fine .
