Probably pods. Your fish will enjoy them.

What fish would feast on these any?

ccCapt · 09-09-2008, 01:15 PM

Pretty much any fish that swims and sees them.

I agree with Larry that it`s just pods. Most fish will take care of them. I remember when I had them in my seahorse tank. They took care of them in short order.
