wrote: In article , says... 90% of Mbuna are algae eaters. Actually the Mbunas are after the crustaceans in the algae, like shrimp salad. So their diet consists of mainly algae. (so I've read) They vary from those that just eat the algae to those that eat the creatures in the algae and the algae itself. Then just a few Mbuna don't eat algae at all. I have a treo of Electric Yellow (Labidochromis caeruleus) in my 38 usg tank that love the bush algae and chase away the Florida flag fish I bought to take care of it. That particular Labidochromis is a micropredator. They are searching the algae for tasties! -- Steve Wolstenholme Neural Planner Software EasyNN-plus.
