You could do experiment like leaving a really small aquarium mossy, and let each of them clean, which took the least and the most time to clean.

@unusualaquariumecosystems5805 4 года назад

Nice video, I use Malaysian Snails and Ramshorn Snails to keep my tanks clean. They are not only good for cleaning the algae up but also eat up any excess food so the shrimp don't over-feed. I made a channel to show you can make low-maintenance, small planted aquariums out of glass bottles and I keep a few shrimp and snails in a glass drinks dispenser!

@trevsweb 5 лет назад

Nerite snails are amazing. As you said shrimps tend not to touch the glass. Though the babies love eating the biofilm so of wanting to breed shrimp it's best to leave some algae for food

@SimplyShrimps 5 лет назад

Yeah in my breeding tanks I just clean the front glass for viewing 😁

@blu.tm-c 4 года назад

this is probably one of the best videos I’ve seen on algae eaters, even though I don’t understand liters xD I’m currently searching for an algae eater to go in my 3.5 gallon with my betta cause there’s a bunch of brown algae growing in there. if I can’t find a suitable tankmate I may get in there myself and clean it out a second time. absolutely adored the theme song for this channel and all the information put here in the little tidbits for each critter. keep up the amazing work!

I would love to add shrimp or a nerite snail to my tank but I’m pretty certain I’d just be providing a good meal for my betta

@EverydayAquarist 5 лет назад

I really like MTS. They do a great job at disturbing the substrate to stop detritus and toxic gasses building up. They will clean the glass and plants at night when they come out. Although they breed easily, if your tank gets over populated it's because you're overfeeding them or the fish, and they are eating the leftovers.

@SimplyShrimps 5 лет назад

This is true. I maintain someone’s tank and you could literally draw a smiley face on the glass by knocking off the snails 😂 I told them to feed less. Next time I cleaned the tank there was an acceptable amount of snails 🐌

@879-07hjkmkl 3 года назад

Thinking about getting the shrimp that. Breed fast, when they get out of hand my green terror can just snack on them. got her over in a seperate 65 gallon. It would do good as feeder too since the tank they would be in is so clean and planted.

@AquaPeet 5 лет назад

Thanks for reminding me that 3 otocinclus isn't enough for them to feel comfy. That's probably why I almost never see them around, only when the lights dim, they pop up on the front glass. And I'll remind my brother that Amano shrimp can help his algae problem! :) His stringy dark algae is residing from the mosses and plants with Algae-Exit from Easylife, but I still see those black plumes on his pieces of driftwood...

@SimplyShrimps 5 лет назад

@wandaoshiro2014 5 лет назад

🌺Love your videos! Once I was planning to purchase some Amano shrimps, but salesperson didn't recommend me keeping them with my Red Cherry Shrimps (RCS). Salesperson said, they'll eat & be very aggressive to the RCS, so I didn't get them. Someone else told me Siamese Algae Eaters (SAE) are especially great at eating Black Beard Algae. Was told to purschase the baby SAE & when it gets too large, return them to the store or put them in a larger tank. What do you think of using SAE in a small tank?🤔

@SimplyShrimps 5 лет назад

It depends on how big your tank is? But I would agree amano shrimp can be more aggressive eaters and can harass others. The SAE would have to be pretty tiny. I did the same to be honest once. I put a SAE that was about 5-6cm in a 50 litre aquarium then moved it out. It’s now in my 500 litre aquarium and about 15cm long :)

@dominic.h.3363 5 лет назад

If shrimp have nothing left to graze on, they will clean up the glass. But since they require so little to eat that the biofilm and algae on the other surfaces is plenty, they won't touch the glass. Also in my experience Neocaridina are the better algae eaters, because if they do not receive supplemental feeding, they eat more types of algae than Amanos. Amanos only seem more efficient because they eat more within a given time frame, they have larger appetite.

@SimplyShrimps 5 лет назад

Yeah it’s a fine line between the two. Amano shrimp will clean up quicker though as you said :)
