I'm not sure what you mean by "beneficial", but the shrimp will pick on the bacteria that will form on such dried leaves. Don't put to large a piece in there, though, as it may cause a bacterial bloom which can decrease the amount of oxygen in the water. Shrimp are very sensitive to that....

Thanks for the replies! I'll definitely keep an eye out for that lol. Also, dried banana leaves, are these beneficial for the shrimp?

Hiya, at the moment I have 7 red cherry shrimp in a 24L cycled tank. I've had them for a week now and theyre getting on fine, good color already and a couple have even molted. I was wondering if it would be ok to put 2 black trumpet snails in with them? Thanks in advance
