Hello group-

After months of lurking, I thought I'd send an inquiry.  After reading rave
reviews of American Flagfish in the archives, I got a pair (male and
female) for my ca. 170 L tank.  I've discovered that rather than eat just
algae, they are actually eating the leaves!  They've made a real mess of
the hygro.  I cannot find any other Cyprinodontid that looks like
*Jordanella floridae*, so presumably I have the right beastie--anybody else
had this experience?  Do you need to bribe them with some other food when
algae is low?  They won't touch flake.

Cheers!

Dorian
