Monoselenium tenerum with SAE's?

[Ben M]

Hi, I know that SAE's are a pain for eating mosses, but I wondered how they are with Monoselenium tenerum? Because I want something to cover my bogwood, but moss is out of the question.

have you had any experience with them together?

cheers

My SAE leaves both my moss and my Pellia alone if that's any help. They seemed to be grazing more on the moss than the pellia but my moss don't seemed to be too badly damage by it.

I was hoping nobody was going to say that. Why do I have to have antisocial SAE's lol.

Mine destroyed my Taiwan moss overnight.

Have you seen yours going for the M. tenerum at all? Or has anybody else? If not, I'll probably give it a go, and if they start to destroy it I'll put some in my other tanks.

cheers

Nope they don't touch my pellia at all.

Cool, I'll go for it. It's only about £3 for a bag from plantedtanks.co.uk anyway.

cheers
