He was kidnapped by the plant gatherers and thrown in the tank... So he didnt know he would be there...

Are they troublesome ?

They can multiply quickly if you overfeed the fish.. So the secret is do not overfeed. Apart from that they do NO real harm.

They do harm ? i only have with shrimp not really feeding them

They do NO real harm, I believe that was a typo...

Hi, sorry should have read "do NO real harm". original post amended

 

[faolteam]

I have just noticed i have seed shrimp in this aquarium as well now will shrimp eat these and will this effect shrimp eggs etc

 

[Slaphppy7]

Seed shrimp will cause no harm to other shrimp or their eggs, which remain attached to the females
