bushy nose feeding again
Wrote a few weeks ago concerned about bushy nose not getting enough to eat. No longer concerned - it's eating the Sword plant (creating holes). Is this normal for this species? It ignores another plant (a crypto something I think) whose leaves are loaded with algae. Does a pretty good job on the glass, though.

Henry,
It is hard to say what is normal. Most leave plants alone if fresh veggies are constantly available, but the occasional fish may develop a taste for a certain type of plant. Are cucumber, zucchini, and/or other vegetables available for the Ancistrus to eat?
