I'm positive,I stood at the tank to observe many times,at 1st I also thought it was for fun but then they chewed on the moss and never spit it out.Think i got a bunch of vege altums...

do they often do that? or just at that moment?
Hi simon,they do it most of the time everyday...they will get into their predator mode,hover ard the moss and juz wack it...then eat the moss.Dunno why the moss so appealing to them..other plants in the tank are not disturbed
simmon, you altums infant or adult?? if the former, maybe they are playful or something in the moss they are feeding on.. (like some small critters you cant see)
Altums are strange critters.. My adult altums finished 50 cardinals in a week and left one lone surviving cardinal for a year. (i didn't know they would attack cardinals) But i have seen altums and cardinals living in harmony.
For a good 2 weeks, my altums chewed on hairgrass when i started planting them. But this does not happen after the hairgrass is matured.
maybe feed your altums adequately so that they will not disturb the moss.
