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 :icon_bigg

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.
