So im looking on the AZ garden site at the plant packages, and under the Easy life habitat they have a package that says it is not good for pleco's, anyone have any idea why? Here is the link to the package..http://www.azgardens.com/habitats_easy.php Thanks Sam

In that case it's probably because plecos get quite large and can knock plants around pretty badly or uproot plants while routinely moving about their tank. Same thing with many species of larger cichlids, as they tend to be diggers, thus they would easily uproot plants. And for goldfish and pacus, which would probably eat everything on that list, save the Java Fern. I guess they're just saying all of that generally, because there are always exceptions. *Back in the saddle!*
