the roots of plants, flakes, and the various algaes I feed them with.

Uhm I have about 20ish yamato shrimp in my 20g tank. I have also put 1.5

p.s. Yamato's are fun, kewl, easy to love, easy to care for but I still
recomend you get perfect conditions for them and please! please! please!

after you.
