TheBlueBeetle Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Just throwing this out there to see if anyone else has seen it, my two sunset thick lipped gouramis appear to be snacking on BBA. I don’t have anything in my tank that is supposed to eat it. I’ve had small patches on top of this stump ( I assume it’s because it’s close to the light) and on the edges of a few plants. I got the two gouramis about a month ago and it has significantly thinned out. They are constantly picking at it as in the pic. Who knew? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccurtis Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Awesome find! Who knew they would eat it. It's great to have a beautiful center piece fish can can double as BBA eradicator as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Well... Was it treated with something to cause the red coloration? Usually it's a sign that it's dying off, might be why you're seeing the snacking. I have heard it could be red because it's thriving under bright light? I've seen mine turn red/gray a few times. I've also seen it green, silver, and iridescent when it's doing well under very bright light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks more black in person though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
