Gravel Cleaning

[Jin]

Hi, my shrimp tank gravel/substrate seem dirty so should i clean the gravel/soil with gravel cleaner such as the one by Eheim or similar.

How you guys clean it actually.

Thanks advance for advice :-)

thanks, but the question is should it clean it as I understand shrimps are sensitive and don;t want screw up thing.

there is still a risk, depend on what shrimps .. high grade CRS probably a No-no imo ..
I dont vacuum the gravel , keeping fire red, I got clean the filter thou

also try to use a feeding bowl so that excess food wont drop into the gravel and rot
