cichlid algae

[kennyman]

I have a collony P.elongatus in a 55g that is aquascaped with calciferous rocks. There is some red algae, most likely black beard, making a turf on the rocks. It does not seem to get eaten like I thought it would. Have I spoiled my mbuna with too much yummy flake food? Or do they not like BBA for a "between the meals snack"?

...do they not like BBA for a "between the meals snack"?

This is the answer
Somehow they do not eat this type of algae in my tank as well, but everything green has gone (together with plants) ...

thanks gvv

I better think about getting some more light in there then to up the green stuff before the red takes over the place.
