peppermint shrimp

[chance]

I am thinking about getting some peppermint shrimp. Will they eat?

Mine eat just about anything that makes it to the sand/rock

you don't even have to feed them... they'll scavenger waste and other stuff.

Also you don't want to feed them directly, this will take away from what they do best which is help keep the tank clean..

Don't be surprised if you don't see them very often. I have some in mine and hardly ever see them.
