Me Shrimps Are Eating Me Plants!

[Mystil]

Hello Guys
Well exactly as the title says....how can I reduce them eating them? They dont bother my sturdy Anubis and Vallis but they love my sword plants!

I am feeding them at least once every 3 days and it does not seem enough...is there any thing I can do?

I have a Lido 120 and have 11 amano shrimp and 10 ghost shrimp (which I have only seen 3 so far at one time)...

Shall I feed more often or should I add more swords to spread out there "food"?

Thanks.
Liza



Oops sorry can this be moved to shrimppy poos section?

Sounds like you don't have enough algae growing in there. lol. Mine love to snack on my nymphae and any riccia I put in their tank, but they leave swords alone as they only like red plants and riccia. . As to a solution, you could try blanching a lettuce leaf and putting this in for them every couple of days, give them something else to munch on as it sounds like they are just hungry. You could be unlucky though, and yours have developed a taste for sword plants.
