Are shrimp getting enough to eat???

[robgurr]

I have about 6 or 7 ghost shrimp in a 10 gallon tank with four bettas or guppies...can't remember (they're peaceful and a good community fish anyway) and i was just concerned on the amount of food that the shrimp are getting... it doesn't seem like there's much food left over when the fish are done eating... if anyone could suggest an alternate way of feeding the shrimp that the fish wouldn't get at i would appretiate it.

either female bettas or you've got guppies lol -- do they give birth in your tank?

try bottom feeder tabs or shrimp pellets -- the fish will pick at them, but can't eat them so fast. Your shrimp should get plenty that way.
