they stay fairly small, and are scavengers, so just drop a algae wafer in (or if their cannibalistic, a shrimp pellet) once every so often after the lights are out.

They should be OK if you only have neons and platies.

I think they eat food of the bottem of the tank.
they eat pretty much anything i hear.
And i think 1\2 inch is their max size.
They probbally shouldnt hurt your fish, and platies and neons are pretty calm fish right?

We found a newborn ghost shrimp in our molly tank, quite a surprise, but I have lots of bookmarks for the questions you have.
