Bought some Ghost Shrimp for my DP's

[J-Money]

I bought ~50 ghost shrimp for my 5 dp's. Problem is the lfs gave me some that are currently too big to be eaten. So now I have a bunch of shrimp running around the tank. Are they going to mess up the chemistry?

dont worry, your puffers will figure out a way to eat them eventually, mine always do. as for the number, they are great at helping to keep the tank floor clean. not sure what size tank you have, but personally, i have not found them to be too much of a strain on my system.

Thanks MAM, I have a 45g tank with 5DP's, 8 TigerBarbs, and 1 common pleco

No such thing as shrimp that's too big for a puffer!

Once they get over their shyness, those puffers will rip their guts out then chase the disembodied heads around the tank.

Ghost shrimp=super small bioload.

Nothing to worry about. They will, eventually, get eaten.

Thanks for all the replies guys, just wanted to make sure nothing would happen

SirMinion you should write children’s stories you have such a imaginative way of putting things
