To my surprise he keeps it nice and clean, I have a sponge bubble trap that i used to have to change every week to avoid detrius buildup but now he keeps it spotless. Guess their good for something afterall:badgrin:

Harlequin food is all I have known them to be good for...until I read the above. Not a bad idea. And when you need a quicky meal for the shrimp there will be one available lol.

They are great in sumps where they can't cause damage, but do add biodiversity. Everything in nature has its' place. It's a matter of finding exactly how to give all these animals their place in our tanks that's the hardest part of all.
