Stephen, try in the buy/sell forums instead.
Personally from what I have experienced, I placed in handful of 'ghost' shrimps to clear up the fungus on the bogwood, they served as a dual purpose for my tank, 1. clear up the fungus, 2. discus food.
You shouldn't be too concerned about the fungus actually, that will go away when your bogwood is more seasoned.
As for mosses, if you have mosses such as taiwan moss, it is not advisable to have SAEs in there. From what I've noticed for my tank, peacock/spiky moss seems to be SAE-safe. They clean the mosses instead of chewing them up.
Otos in general don't do damage to flora or in your case, the moss. Can't really comment on the royal pleco though.
visit my photo albums @ flickr!
I have 2 golden SAE (never eat my moss and very hardworking) and 1 sucker fish (pleco ??) also working very hard to clean my tank and surprisingly it grow bigger just in my tank for 3-4 months.
Tried on SAE .. think just rubbish fish, fighting for fish food with my cardinal and eat moss too...give away all last time.
hmmmm...looks like I need to get rid of the SAE 1st and get some golden SAE..
Hmmm.... so, it's my water flow rate... thanks a lot man... I'll change my direction of water flow then and see what happens...
It's been a week now and i think it's time to get my shrimps now (red cherry shrimps).. then, i'll add in bumblebees too
Hey reader, do the octus suck up those fungus ?
will the shrimps' movements on top of the moss make the 'dust' away?
Will shrimps eat those fungus grown on my DW ?
Hmmm.. i'll let time deal with it....
