Pencilfish and java moss


Hi guys,

My pencilfish seems to be nibbling my java moss. I am not sure whether they are attacking my moss.

I notice the leaves are getting bare

Are they known to do that?

anybody with that experience?

I am sorry if the quality is bad

and also i think my pencilfish is dancing was really nice to find out.. seems like they are making themselves at home

Nice clips

Not sure if attacking is the right word... it probably found that the young shoots are quite tasty. Maybe feed them some veggie stuff to reduce cravings... I use frozen spinach, and cut it into very small pieces so it fits their small mouths.

The dance is really the males fight for dominance... Looks nice. I love Pencil fish.
