I just got an opaline gourami for my planted 29g, and I've noticed him sort of pecking at my largest (and nicest) Amazon sword. Is he going to eat/destroy/uproot it, or was he just "exploring" his new tank?

Also, I think I read somewhere that someone had a problem with their gourami ruining they're wisteria. I have quite a bit of wisteria in that tank, but I haven't seen anything bother it...again, are there going to be any issues here?

And finally, I have 3 otos in that tank and the gourami seems to be chasing them a bit. He's ignoring the corys and the tetras, bu doesn't seem too fond of the otos. I think they're too fast for him to catch, but is that a problem?

I had a betta in there before I got the gourami, but I took him out when he started harassing the otos...don't know what it is about those things.

well he might eat the plants, but that shouldn't be a problem, unless it is for u. i dont know why they would chase an otto, but just add some more hiding places or take the gourami back. or to a nother tank.

I have eight Opalines in my 5ft very heavly planted tank. I have seen them picking at the plants but never any damage. As far as uprooting I dont think so as they are mainly top to middle swimmers and eaters. (well mine are)
