So, I’m curious about this.

So, I have this pothos in a vase of water and sand along with some moss and floating baby tears. I did not know that pothos will grow leaves under water. Crazy. I also didn't know seed shrimp will eat them alive. I didn't think anything ate pothos, it's deadly or makes things sick. These leaves were healthy and growing and they ate the larger one from the center out! It was very much alive. Here's what Google's AI had to say about this:

"It is highly unlikely that ostracods would eat a live pothos plant. Ostracods are primarily scavengers and detritivores, meaning they prefer to consume decaying organic matter, algae, and bacteria, not living plants. Even if they did try to consume it, pothos is known to be toxic due to calcium oxalate crystals."

What do y'all think or what have been your experiences? The water is extremely clear because there are so many of them. So I wonder if this led to the consumption of the leaves.
