henward Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 i put a wafer right in front of the royal this morning. it got excited when it smelt it, went on it and rasped for 10 seconds and left it. but its belly is fat and full, and violently rasping on the wood, rocks and ornaments consttantly it seems and i can visibly see its poo as well! so ita eating, forgotten/never realised that it loved wood that much! why is it not going for the food! i want t os ee it rasp on pellets lol but yeah, it is the only brown poo that is produced in the tank, everything else is a green wafer poo! i also found it eats young blackbeard algae! and my tank is almost wiped out of this stuff!

jamosfish Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 It might take some time for it to "learn" to like them..... Atleast it is eating well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropheus Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 oh can he stay a couple of nights at mine to clean my tank of BB algae :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 haha, its actually quite amazing, that it rasps on the black beard and keeps it in control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatfish Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah they are amazing and can certainly mow through the wood. If you've got any algae covered wood or ornaments you could put them in there for a clean. It should soon get used to the wafers. Royals also love eating yams.
