The Mopani driftwood (got the name right this time) is now growing white fungus, but interestingly the small piece in his little 5.5 G isn't. Would he be eating the fungus?

Yes, in fact I had the same problem with this type of wood, I guess I never bothered to learn the name, my pleco took care of all of the white fungus that grew out of the wood. It never harmed him, but if I were to do it again, I would soak the wood longer in a different tank/tub, or even boil it or bake it if possible. You can also scrub the fuzzy stuff off with a toothbrush or something similar before you do a water change, then siphon the stuff out.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
