Though they can be very harmful to other tank inhabitants. I don't think they eat plants, but they may dig them up, so your best bet is to use plants that you tie down to rocks or driftwood, or deep-rooted plants such as crypts and maybe swords or Tiget lotus. You'll want to give the plants a week or two to establish themselves in a deep substrate of 3-5 inches before you add the shrimp. Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean... |
