Really nice pictures. When you give them sweet potato do you ever clean up after it or do they gobble it up. What I am trying to get it as if I used a sweet potato would I have to worry about taking it out after some time so it doesn't contaminate the water or would the shrimp finish it up eventually.Piscesgirl wrote: These are my shrimp. No, I didn't get them from Azgardens. In the first picture with the sweet potato (they LOVE sweet potato, but don't care for spinach contrary to other reports I've read), the big one is my Crystal Red Bee shrimp and the other ones are Cherry Shrimp.

What the shrimp don't finish -- the snails do. Actually, the snails start covering the potato in a very short time, so the shrimp don't always get too much of it -- but they are faster and get there first. Lately, I've tried to put smaller, tiny pieces for them so harder for the snails to cover up. However, I don't fert my tank except some calcium and magnesium, and it is high light and CO2, so all the nutrients are used -- there is no contamination of the water. I also do 30% water changes every week and re-add iodide at that time.

Please correct me if they are not Crystal Red Bee Shrimp,although they appear to be and thats what I was told they were when I purchased them through a local fishclub workshop and auction from the gentlemen that bred them.
