The clean team (A.K.A Ghost shrimp)

I know ghost shrimp are scavangers and all that, but will they eat food thats beeen sitting on the bottom of the tank for about 2 weeks? my betta in the 10 gal dont always eat it all and theres always left overs.

 

they should clean it up. i would vac the gravel first cause most inverts aren't tolerant of high nitrites or ammonia which i'm sure there is a lot of since there's been excess food sitting in the bottom of the tank for so long.

 

Well the betta went poof, guessing a cat AGAIN cuz i still wasnt able to find a cover for the tank, but now im using a screen guard thing for windows when i get my dwarf cichlids

 

good idea...

 

ghost shrimp are supposed to be good scavengers, but sometimes certain bettas like to eat them, or harass them, while others are good tankmates for them.

 

I hate how they molt and u gotta take out the molt
