Shrimp Eating Plants

[jbrock]

i have two amanos shrimp that seem to have developed a taste for my plants, anybody else had this problem?
The plants are all very healthy and WERE growing really well, i always feed a variety of food.

Typically, they feed on certain types of algae and on decaying plant matter. Are they after something with delicate leaves? I certainly wouldn't put it past the little critters lol, though it is a bit surprising.

Well hopefully they don't destroy it on you as it's a lovely plant!
