Disc Characins And Plants

[merlinblack]

Hi folks,

Some of my favourite fish are disc characins such as silver dollars, myleus schomburgkii (they have 2 of these in the store near me at the moment) red hooks, mylossoma duriventre, or even true silver dollar tetras.

Ive kept the first 3 species before but they ate the plants in no time.
Are there any disc characins that wont eat the plants and are also compatible with medium sized fish?

I didnt keep Ctenobrycon spilurus 9silver dollar tetra. I expect they'd be ok with plants but are only a small species though
