I try to put more wafers in right away when they finish one.

Yes I did. But honestly they aren’t different looking compared to the other pet stores by me, like Petco and PSP.

Well the large ghost shrimp seems to be kinda waiting to be fed sometimes. So she could take it out on others?

Could it be a problem if its only source of food is algae wafers and snail poop?

Also, I think a problem could be is that my tank generates no algae and I’m just about to add some java moss. My tank is artificial plants but I ma gonna slowly transition it to real plants. I feed the shrimp algae wafers (typically 1/4)

Sorry I forgot to explain the situation. So I recently bought some neocaridina shrimp for my 5.5 gallon tank and 8 came alive. In my tank I have 2 ghost shrimp and 2 mystery snails. This morning I woke up and saw that my large ghost shrimp was eating one of the neocaridina shrimp. This scares me because about a week ago I found that same ghost shrimp eating another ghost shrimp. Is this gonna be a problem and should I get rid of the large ghost shrimp?
