    Don't be too sure about that, Dave. I have never actually seen the SAEs eating the moss. It's all circumstantial evidence, if you know what I mean. Remove your SAEs and I bet you will see prolific growth in the mosses.

    I was expecting to see stripped fronds. None of that. Do the SAEs keep the Erect Moss clipped, in other words?

    I can always pull them and see what happens.

    Adults SAEs prune the new growth so it's not obvious that they are eating the mosses. In certain fish tanks in some local fish shops, I have seen really hungry SAEs prune the moss to the extent where only the branches are left.

    Now that you have taken them out from your tank, I believe you will see prolific growth. Plvp told me in a private email that his Erect Moss is growing very well in his tank. The fact that he said very well after seeing the picture of your Erect Moss would indicate yours are lagging behind in growth. Unfortunately, Plvp does not own a digital camera so he couldn't send any pics. But I'm sure he would send one later.

    Kwek Leong,
    I will take a picture of the Erect Moss now and email it to you and you can compare it with the first I have already sent. I'll send another after a week or so with no SAEs in the tank.

    Peter,

    The way you write it, I think I need to get tuition from you.

    I don't bother with all the hassle of KH, NO, etc. No wonder my mosses as like shit.
