    same thing will happen to yamato.
    my advise: dont put yamato together with crs.

    bro, i tried with malayan shrimp before. not really effective in clearing algae though. neither is otto. but however, i do have a otto in my tank to clear the unfinished food. and snails as well. hope it helps.

    Re: Malaya shrimp and CRS

    Do not know if this is true but shrimps prefer shrimp food to algae. So by adding in malayan but keeping the orginal feeding regime will not force the malayan to clear away the algae. Just sharing of some of my experience, Can someone verify. Thanks.
