Re: Zoa and Amphipod Problems... Unrelated

Hello Mich I'm back again..
<Doug, it's been so long, what 24 hours, maybe more! Hee!>
I'm seeing something very similar in my freshwater planted tanks as
well.. They look similar to the ones in my SW tank just smaller.. Maybe
.125" compared to .2-.4" in my SW tank.. These fw ones will eat
pellets, cutup shrimp and catfish fillets.. They also like to rip moss
to shreds.. This pic is of one tearing the fronds off of a piece of
moss.. A friend took this pic..
<WOW! A great macro shot!>
Are they similar?
<Likely so.>
Do you think there is a chance that the SW ones might eat meatier foods
like the fw ones do?
<Yes, they are detritivores... eat waste... dead foods, not living
corals, thought they may appear to be as they will stealing food and
cleaning waste from corals.>
Thank you in advance for any info..
<You're welcome! -Mich>
Doug
Again I'm attaching a link to the pic because I don't know how to
resize..

friend!> |
