Serra recently has been keeping her lawn of algae in check.
It looks better than my lawn.

Anyway, It IS ok for her to be eating the algae, right? I'm worries by eating the algae she might bite off chunks of the ZooMed dock and isn't it made of some kind of foam?

Oh, and I took this cool picture of Serra :wink:

Algae is ok for them to eat not great but won't hurt her either. Ours bit off a little piece of the dock once and spit it right back out. If she doesn't spit it out it should pass, because she isn't going to be able to get a whole mouth full

That looks really pretty. :) Eating that algae won't hurt her at all.
