Plant cleaners

[smalltownfan]

The plastic plants in my daughters goldie tank always get algae covered and she hates cleaning them because it's so time consuming and they never really get clean anyway. I knew dwarf shrimp liked algae so I tried something the other night and it really worked. They are so small but methodical.

They are industrious little beasts... Nice colors as well.

Out of curiosity, what type of substrate are you using and what type of plant is growing in the foreground?

It's Fluorite Sand Black (really shows off the colours) and the plant was just put in (got it from wish_fish) Hemianthus callitriodides "Cuba". Waiting for it to carpet.

I need to borrow some of those shrimps of yours they do much better job than a tooth brush in cleaning plastic plants.
