I added a CUC yesterday consisting of 5 Mexican Turbos, 10 small astreas, 10blue leg hermits and 3 peppermint shrimp. LFS suggested I wait on getting Nassarius until I begin to add fish - probably in a couple of weeks. They all acclimated well and went right to work on the algae. (One hermit, though, went head to head with another this afternoon. The one had the other by the throat, wrestled him off the rock, and both fell twisting and turning to the bottom of the tank. Looked like something out of the movies! I separated them and that was the end of that!)
My questions -Is there anything I should be feeding them in addition to the algae they are eating? Will they eventually eat all the algae, leaving them nothing to eat? LFS (after asking him) suggested flake food for the shrimp as an additional food. The shrimp found homes in the rock toward the left and back of the tank and pretty much spend most of their time there.
I turned off the PH and tried to drop a few flakes in their area this evening, but they didn't notice them and they floated them away. Is there a trick to getting the food to them?
