Dark Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 i have about 6 bistlenose in a tank with twisted and corkscrew val, the fish leave it al well alone (which is a shame really because the twisted val is out of control. I have found that the corkscrew val gets very brittle or woody, and i wonder that bristlenose may eat it if there is no wood in the tank for them to nibble on. It is a little known rumour that bristlenose require lignin as a part of their diet, perhaps they are trying to supplement their diet? Another thing that confuses the issue for me is that, to me, twisted or spiral val is what most people consider 'normal' val ie: it twists once or twice along the length of the 1m or so long leaf, wheras corkscrew val, what most people consider twisted or spiral, spirals continously from root to tip.
