Will BNP eat Crypt leaves?

[Root]

I have a baby BNP and some new Crypts. The crypts are on week two in the tank and there were a few leaves that melted. There are still some older leaves left on the plants and today I noticed on at least three plants there were spots that looked like something took a chunk out of them. The Pleco gets fed regularly and has plenty of wood to munch on. Are these plants still melting back or could it be the BNP? I have heard they can go after Amazon Swords, but can crypts be on the menu too?

They usually eat dead or dying leaves only, and I have lots of crypts in my 100 G nanofish tank and 3 adult plus 6 juvie BNP in there and nobody is eating the crypts. Your crypts may still be doing a little melting. Make sure your BNP gets some veggies at least semi-regular and they’ll usually leave the swords alone unless they have damaged or dying leaves.

My BN babies and adults leave my crypts alone. The babies hang on them and clean off debris but have not caused damage to any. The adults don’t even notice them. I feed veggies daily.

If hungry enough a BNP will eat anything. And they're always hungry. They aren't serious plant eaters, but if they're eating your plants, it's probably a sign they want more food. What you think is plenty of food for them and what they think is plenty of food for them could be entirely different matters.
