i am thinking of getting some SLFs ... will they attack fishes? i fear for my baby BT... :fear:

SLFs look scary too. :ph34r: like some spider... :sick:

but since they will eat just about any algae, i gonna use them to attack my red macro... so i guess no choice la. :upsidedown:

on a side note, does that new LFS in jalan kayu still have SLFs? anyone know where else has them? :thanks:

I kept them with fishes as small as 1cm and the fishes were untouched. If your sallylightfoot has enough algae to keep itself happy I doubt it would go after fishes. To satisfy their protein demands, pellet or frozen foods could be offered to prevent them from seeking out your fishes.

Always something more important than fish.

No problem with SLF. They prefer those algae than fishes that moving around. I've got 4 in my small 2.5footer tank. Only thing is that they are a bit territorial with each other.

Just went to Jalan Kayu LFS. Still got lots of SLF.

Went there yesterday. Left one only..
