    All fish will eat pods if given the opportunity (and if they can catch them) :)

    Is that what the damsel is doing when he's pecking on the rocks? I've got no algae other than on the new rocks and it's the flat neon green stuff.

    Right now my foxface is playing with bubbles. Makes em and pops em..... could he need more oxygen or is he just playing with them?

    Probably :)

    I had a scribbled rabbitfish and Roger had a hippo tang that liked to play with bubbles too so I'm guessing that they're just bored :)

    it's funny to think that a fish can amuse itself, and for that matter, that it needs amusement!:) he's always done it, just never thought to ask about it. thanks, good to know.
