Angelproof Moss

[rms]

Does anyone know of a moss that angel fish don't like eating? I've tried Christmas and Java to no avail. Grrrrrr
 
I love them really

Should feed them more, Never had angels eat moss myself lol.

None of my angels have ever eaten moss either. They shouldn't really want to; they're mainly carnivores. What are you feeding them?

 

[rms]

Flakes most days, once or twice a day. Live brine shrimp, blood worm and daphnia twice a week.
 
I was feeding smaller amounts more often before. Much smaller amounts I stress, 5 or 6 times a day, but I can't keep that steady. They are feeding for around a minute with the flakes and a fair bit longer when it's live food.

I also have neons and sword tails. The sword tails might also be eating the moss, but I've only seen the angels picking at it. The wire mesh 2x2", was half gone in two days.

Fish can be very odd sometimes; there's certainly nothing wrong with the diet you're giving them, as far as I can see.
 
I'd up your feeding a little bit and see if they leave it alone; a minute is perhaps a little too short a time, especially if they're growing..

Yes they are growing. Will see how a couple minutes goes. Thanks

As a point of interest the angels are also eating the roots of my frogbit. A point of interest and also a point of anoyance. Cichlids eh..... pppfffff!!!

Maybe they are missing some vegetable food then? Might be worth trying; it won't do them any harm. My current angel likes catfish pellets and algae wafers

I have some algae wafers left over from the bnp's I swapped at my LFS. I have about 1/4 of my xmas moss left so maybe I can trick them and place a wafer next to it....

lettuce.. put in a large piece of lettuce and hold it with something to the glass so it doesn't float around.. like the glass scrubbers... they'll go nuts for that... mine do
try that and see how it goes.
