yeah i have the glass /grass ghoast shrimp the ones with orange spots on tail claws thay do hardy had 12 or so to start now 6-8 in fry tank 2 in sick tank
im treating a tank for ick and got all but 2 glass shrimp out its ben close to a week with copper safe and thay look fine . the box said remove inverts but in side sez may be ok fo ones with an exoskeleton .
sand is bad for pumps mk turn them off . i got sand in a pump once not good. a spunge on the intakes helps with sand a bit and helps with small fish and more bio area too.
