Red Nose Shrimp Feeding

[tintin]

Hi,

I have four red nose shrimp that have been settling in to a 28 litre planted tank for about two weeks now. For a week they have been sharing with a betta who seems to be completely ignoring them (so far so good.)

As i'm mainly feeding the betta with pellets and there is not much in the way of left overs to be scavenged, is the naturally occurring algae sufficient for the shrimps or should I be dropping some small algae wafers on a regular basis?

TT.

No you're right you should be adding algae wafers. I tend to feed my fish once in the morning and once at night, and in the night feed I put an algae wafer in for the shrimp.
