peppermint shrimp on clean up crew?

[mikegray]

it doesnt say they eat algae.. why are they on cleanup crew? i just bought 2 of them cause my rocks are green thinking they would eat some. but it doesnt say they do...

they eat excess food that is on the ground, basically a good scavenger.

You will be better off with snails for algae. peps are more carnivorous in my experience.
