My Fish Ate My Cayno?!

[csl499]

have tried everything to get rid of cayno....i have another post explaining everything but i just wanted to get everyones opinion on the fact that while i was going through a 72hr lights out to try to get rid of the cayno. my fish began to eat it. i did reduce feeding but not to the point of starvation. they ate it all most of it being on the sandbed and its only been 48 hours....im very confused. have never herd of this before. have you?

sorry! didnt see your last post. maybe the algae was dying and they ate the decayed part?

could be. i have pictures but dont know how to post them. i know cayno is not 100% dependent on photosynthesis....so maybe it wasnt decaying?
