wood

Post by Soho »

I have mopani and mangrove wood in my tank. I decided to rescape and have to pull out mopani. The thing is that my albinos love to chew on mopani. Would pulling it out cause problems with them or they will be satisfied with another mangrove which I plan to put in.
Thanx

I guess you mean albino bristlenoses, but in general, most fish that eat (off) wood would be happy whatever nutural wood it is. I have several pieces of "garden wood" in my tank, and it's working really well.

Yes, bristlenose albino ancistrus.
Thank you for the info. I will put out the mopani and replace it with mangrove root which looks much better in the aquascape

I think your pleco will like it better too as its softer and easier to chew...My Panaque love it more than any other wood i have in the tank(including mopani) and eats more out of it than from any other wood...
