Thank you that makes sense that they were trying to get to the little microorganisms or bugs hidden in the algae rather than the algae itself!!
Vegetable matter in this case meant (quoted from the site): In studies conducted on wild fish, crustacean food was found in the bellies of under a...
What do you guys feed your Pelvicachromis? Some sites say they're omnivorous, while others say stomach analysis of wild fish have shown that they tend to eat a lot more vegetable matter than previously thought. Could them eating mostly vegetable matter be because that's just what is more readily...

These are some videos of how they interact with the male
The fish in question has a bit of yellowish orange on their anal fin, hopefully it'll be easier to see in the videos than the pics
Hi!! I'm wondering whether this fish is likely a female Cacatuoides or likely a sneaker male?
I uploaded quite a few pics to hopefully give a better picture of what the fish looks like. Their caudal is round and so is the end of their dorsal. There doesn't seem to be any extended dorsal rays...
