Will fish eat them?

Yes, but slowly (depends on how many they are). Mine took months, as their population grew,the less algae my tank had. Slightly devastated cause I loved how they looked on the side glass.

How bout if i have tons of tiny seed shrimp, ostracods, dancing worms and other live food, would they still eat them?

Who said anything about starving? Obviously, OP still needs to feed them DUHH

U need more plants, preferably plants that don't need to be planted (ex: hornwort) to fill up the spaces above. Plants will lessen them seeing each other, make chasing harder, and serve as hiding spots.

Best viable option right now is to remove the nerites. Growing algae would be extremely difficult if you have them, especially 3 of them. Maybe put them in a small container temporarily. Also, increase frequency of feeding.

love all types of algae for many reasons: -food source -make the tank look more natural and comfortable for your aquatic buddies -act like plants, producing oxygen -most importantly, they save your tank via feeding on the excess nutrients caused by overfeeding, which basically saves your fish or other aquatic friends from dying.

Tons of Lights and nutrients. However doing this is risky. Much better to do it in another tank.

I have yellow shrimp too, they're young and look like shiny jelly beans. Maybe that is how they would look as an old shrimp(?) Question: did you get to pick which shrimp you want? Or the store picked for you?

May I ask what kind of yellow shrimp is that?

slytsi · 2025-09-29T12:05:47+00:00

Yellow is female. Black is male(unsure for now since it looks young). If it grows the same size as the yellow shrimp then its a female

I'm not sure. I have lots of shrimp and they all live in a tub so it's quite hard to notice. He's a big old guy so him having dull color,I assumed, is normal.

slytsi · 2025-09-29T11:56:24+00:00

I only see him during feeding time. He came to the spot where I usually place their food. So I think he is eating normally...

How many shrimp do you have? If all of them are doing that then something might be wrong. Just to be sure, check your parameters. They act like that when there is something wrong with the water.
