Mine are currently chewing on mushrooms.
And my Pseudacanthicus has been known to chew down a snail or two...
And all my P. maccus eat wood of course.

mine love to eat El Norte fry and eggs... yup that is the weirdest they will eat, although they have eaten a whole earthworm once (fish spit it out and they jumped on it.)
I do have to say the funniest thing is watching my BN male hunt down live brine shrimp... they are not ment to be mid water swimmers

lately mine have been enjoying some watermelon rather voraciously!
and of course mango is their extreme favourite. Unknown why/
and yes my big one, common, will chase the mushroom all over the tank once he loosens it from it's attachment.

The Thing that Lurks and Yearns for Brains just depopulated my 90 gallon of Duckweed.
You know all those people that complain about how hard it is to eradicate duckweed? Thing did it in ONE NIGHT.
