Stu :) Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Help! My three baby BNs are eating the air stone... a). This doesn't seem normal and b). How good (health wise) is this for the little plecos? Stu PS c). I don't really care about the air stone; dime a dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Are they actually EATING the stone??? I would guess they are eating an algae like build up on the surface of the stone, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu :) Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 No... I'm noticing little "dents" on the two flat side of the air stone that they are hanging out on... Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu :) Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yes there's two big pieces of driftwood and I'm yet to see them do any number twos... I know they like to rasp their mouths on course things like driftwood, zucchini, fresh algae chips, the filter intake :roll: ... but the air stone seems a bit hardcore Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 i just think they like the feeling of the stone. mine used to eat my finger, and the stone. i suppose the gritty feeling would be quite nice. perhaps a form of brushing their teeth? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
