It looks like they've eaten some Java Fern too, but I'm thinking the section
that's been trimmed was covered in a mess of black brush. Going to add some
val today see if that won't do better in the hard water. I think this system
is just too basic for java fern, which is stinky.
Now to get these guys over to prepared foods so they get some steak with their
salad. Hopefully they don't get too happy with the steak heh.
Also adding an Ehiem 2213 at lunch (I musta been a good boy this year :).
That ought to get this tank a turnin' :)

YAY! The stonerollers are eating the brown plague. They're especially
particular to loose floating pieces. I can turn it into fish fat woo hoo!
They also "tried" the fd brine on the first feeding. :)
Now to see if they'll eat the black brush algae, since they're waaaay cooler
looking that Siamese Algae Eaters :)

most folks have expressed what i have experienced as well. they are a tough
and durable fish in nature and in our tanks. they survive where others
cannot.
they will eat dang near anything and are always eager when i approach or pass
a tank.
kind of an odd observation: in my cement pond i have several stonys who are
prospering. f
