Overfeeding Shrimp?

[SchottayB]

I know shrimp will eat the crap from your sand/gravel... but what happens if you over feed them?

As my shrimp constantly swim to the top of the tank when I feed my fish and they steel food! Every day this happens lol, is this normal or are they eating too much?

Thankyou

haha, i've not yet seen that happen... but give it time!!

I have algae wafers that I feed the shrimp, I only put a bit in once a week is that about right? But the problem I have then is, once the fish have finished eating their food, they will nick the algae wafer and nibble at that untill i'ts distroyed!

Then I feel like the shrimp arn't getting enough? lol

I have amano shrimp too
