So the last day or 2 I've noticed that my platys have been picking at the driftwood. I have a decent supply of algae in my tank as it's near a window so I'm guessing this it what they are picking at but wondering why? Are they not eating enough?
They don't really come to the surface to eat unless I'm offering something like tubifex where there are a few chunks they need to nibble at. Usually they seem to wait in the mid/lower level for the food(usually flakes) to come to them. Rarely do I see them go up into the "frenzy" with my neons. They poop a lot. I swear every time I look into my tanks at least one is pooping. I just want to make sure this is not something to be concerned about. I was planning to buy some sinking pellets anyways.
