Will shrimps feed on Moss Ball (Cladophora aegagropila ) ?

[patricc]

You mean the Marimo Moss Balls? hehe Let me think of the anime "One Piece' character

I think they do 'feed' on the moss ball but should have other moss better

[mickey15]

You mean if i have other mosses, the shrimps would leave the marimo alone?

Ya I think they will only clear the food remain on the surface and not eat it. Mine oso still one piece like when it is first bought

I only have experience of cherries eatting taiwan mosses for my tank, thats because i didnt feed them for 2 weeks.

Marimos are my shrimps' last stop for food. They would rather be anywhere else than on marimos.
