Puntius Denisoni or SAE ?

[rthomas]

Everyday I am able to see my Glosso being uprooted by someone.

I have 5 Denisoni (about 5 inches long) and 4 SAEs in that tank. I wonder who is the culprit

From Arizona Aquatic Gardens on Redline Sharks:

This species may nibble on some plants that are soft-leaved, but is not interested in intimidating plants like anubias, swords, or grasses.

I've had several SAEs and never had them go for plants. The Denisonis would be the main suspects.

Uprooting is a different issue than eating it.

SAE are long and strong fish. They can easily browse the glosso lightly, but when taking off, a flash of their tail is all it takes............

Any strong fish can do the same.

I have kept both SAE and Denisoni alongwith a glosso bed. While I have seen the Denisonis going for the bed but the biggest effect on the glossos was from the SAE. SAEs definitely grazer (for BBA!!) and in the proceess many a times accidentally (but not intentionally) uproots glossos or even other foreground plants like Hair Grass
