Are they starving!?!?!

[misty927]

I got a cleanup crew with snails, emerald crabs, a sally light foot, cucumber, bristle stars, cleaner shrimp, and red and blue leg hermits. Question is...they've cleaned up all algae and diatoms quite nicely, but almost too nicely. Now, I'm wondering if they don't have enough food to eat. How can I feed these little critters now that all the algae and diatoms are gone??

I don't think you need to feed them. Remember, they are a clean up crew and their job is to clean up. I see my guys constantly eating something even though my tank looks clean. Munch, munch, munch thats what they do. I think they will be fine. On another note, don't they clean things up great? My tank has never looked cleaner. Great investment. I am sure the other members will have something to add. have fun.

If you are too concerned give them some shrimp to eat.
