I think its the cellulose they're after on the wood, apparently aids with
digestion.

Honestly, the common pl*co is fine, until it gets to be 8" or so, then
it
becomes a poop factory... Literally, it can poop more than any 30" of
fish
could.... but another reason it's almost non-preferrable, is after it
hits
6" or so, it stops eating algae and grazes on driftwood... atleast mine
has
forgotten what algae tastes like, it now prefers, and will tell me it
wants
zuchini...


I always wondered if they actually eat the wood or are grazing on stuff
growing on the wood. Anyone know?
