I kept a group for about 5-6 years about 20 years ago. Sounds like I need to write that up! I didn't breed them, but they were fun and easy to keep.

Cheers,

Jools

Good COTM. Did you notice if they were wood eaters?

It depends what you mean by eating wood. Do you mean digesting wood or ingesting wood? And do you mean wood, like from a tree, or bamboo or some random palm?

These I found not to be purposful wood ingesters not like L. tentaculus, for example. They pretty much wanted to "mouth" anything that had biofilm on it.
