andyman98 Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Hi all i have a great idea for keeping B/N catfish supplyed with wood. get a stocking or such and put some aquariaum peat in and tie off both ends then then let it float or sink and you will notice that the B/N's will suck on it thus getting the fibre they need!

Caryl Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Why not just put a bit of driftwood in the tank? Much easier. There are different sorts of peat too. The bristlnose needs the hardness of the wood I think, so sucking on peat wouldn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 An element in wood. lignin is an essential part of a bristles diet. So people try & "stick" with wood. Gee cant be that hard to find a piece. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
