I left my yellow shrimps for 6 weeks and had my friends come in every week to feed them. They are scavengers and will be fine if you provide some sunlight into your tank (algae growth). They'll also feed on bio film available. Of course this doesn't work if yours is a large colony in a small tank or if your tank is not very established yet. Having plants (MOSS!) in there especially helps as they graze on it.
