Chaeto is not palatable to many herbivorous species so I dont think they would eat it.. You can take some of mine and see if they eat it

Sentari do they like the chaeto? I was hoping that they like it so I can feed them that when I eventually harvest

I second that... Is it bad for the Tangs or bad for human consumption? hehe

I can imagine ziyaad trying different recipes of chaeto and explaining to his wife why he has to eat it first before he can give it to the tangs :lol:
