So just wanted to share a pic of my RCS happily cleaning the tank for 2+ weeks now and today i added a algae shrimp which rode in on a tiny moss ball i got:
See they can have crunchy friends... (ok tbh there were 2 RCS he ate the male...lol)

I do keep C. irrubesco with Red Cherry Shrimps for 7+ years. There may be a shrimp missing now and then, but they seem to breed too fast or not taste good enough to become extinct.

Dwarfs are picky eaters, they like easy food, and eating a RSC it is not easy, try to catch one with your hands.
Anyway RSC will never be seen as a tank mate, they are live swimming food.

You need to make that pic much smaller. See the Forum Rules for this.

Just click for larger pic now.
Well whatever the reason im glad the little guys survive long enough to house clean. The algae shrimp is bold and a little vacuum watched him devour a few bloodworms my puffer missed in a few minutes...lol
