Morning!
I'm very interested in having shrimp in my community tank (no large fish) and I'm considering them as my one and only clean up crew (with additional specific feeding of course ).
However, I've seen them happily graze on rocks/plants/moss balls, but can they actually eat algae from the tank glass? Speciifically algae that is half way up the tank with no purchase points near it for clinging on to?
If the answer is no, then I'll just invest a plec as well as shrimp will be added regardless!
