I have a small shrimp only tank in my office. (L 6" x w 6" x h 8"). No filter, just some gravel with a small piece of drift wood and nana plants.
I do minimum water change once every 2 weeks.
There are 4 cherries, 3 tiger, 3 bee, 2 red nose, plus 8 shrimplets.
So far only 1 bee died since I set ...

I am not sure which is male or female. I got only 5 and looks the same to me.

Hi Sami,

Maybe you are right, 'they don't eat plants all the time'. My tank is relatively new, about 1 week old. No algae as yet. Perhaps that's why they eat up all my plants.

Thanks for your reply. I have just isolated the red nose to a smaller tank and added some more plants. Will see what happen next.

Hi,

Just bought 4 red nose shrimp. Put them in my shrimps only 2 ft tank together with Tiger and Cherry shrimp. After 3 days, I notice the red nose begin to eat up most of the plants, including moss.

Does anyone else have the same experience ?

Thank you.
