I've never had ammanos and BGA in the same tank, but they're like
freaking goats - what won't they eat? Mine like live white worms
the best and will scarf as many or morethan they can carry
the greedy litle buggers.

If their gut is blue-green then they ate something blue-green.

Now that's revenge. My ex has my Diatom-XL and TFH and Innes's aquarium
going back to the 40's. Not that she kept or even liked fish mind you..

It was good riddance with the discus for sure. Those fish were a PITA.
I'd never try them again in anything under 100 gallons, and only with
soft tapwater.
