RE: [AGA-Member] I can't grow mosses



You know, I hadn't thought about the slowdown of java moss growth in the
tank with my now mature SAE's, but there is a correlation in my tank.  The
java moss still looks nice, but I do feed the SAE's extra food (they
especially love live California black worms).  Considering how big the SAE's
are and how little algae of any sort is in the tank (as in none at all,
right now), I'm not surprised they'd start nibbling on fresh growth!
Perhaps I need to step up my feeding even one more notch to see if they'll
still eat the algae but leave the java moss entirely alone...

i have had octocinclus in several tanks with abundant growth of Java moss  
and have never seen any damage. i have had SAE's however that when they got

mature would rather eat whatever type of food was available than work at
eating  
algae.
