Over the past week I've notice Java fern leaves looking ragged with chunks missing from the edges. Now I've found the culprit. An angelfish is biting chunks out of them then spitting out the bits.
Looks like it is just destructive behaviour rather than hunger as it doesn't eat the other plants and it has a varied diet including frozen foods, algae wafers and sheets and a wide variety of quality pellets and flake and there are always at least two types of veg on offer in the tank too.
Anyone else seen similar behaviour from Angelfish? Could it be due to something missing in its diet?
With a plec who eats sword plants, kribensis digging craters in the substrate and uprooting plants and now now this I'm glad I'm still waiting for the wood in the tank to sink and haven't spent ages careful planning/planting.
