Just A Random Question

so ive been given a new tank (my 4th) and one of the fish im considering are thai micro crabs and was jsut wondering do they tackle algae at all?

The way I am reading it, they will eat anything that comes along.  
 

They eat the same stuff as freshwater dwarf shrimp- shrimp pellets, uneaten fish food, algae, and so on. They’re very shy, so they’re typically seen out and about rarely during the day, but in the early mornings and evenings is when you might typically see them out of their hiding spots and moving around in the open. They are said to enjoy the roots of floating plants the best as places to hide and eat food, whether it be in the roots, or floating by in forms of tiny rotifers and other microscopic critters that shrimp and crabs like to snack on. They are primarily scavengers, eating whatever they find.

ok good to know the tank im going for will have ember tetra and celestial pearl danios so i wanted to make sure they werent big fish hunter (or little as the case maybe) so there not at any risk whatsoever and although i wont have any floating plants the tnak will be incredibly heavily planted with various plants and will also have bogwood so hopefully they shouldnt be too reclusive
thank you for the advice by the way
