peppermints -- killers?

[daisy]

So next question -- how many of you hate peppermints? Once they get to be over an inch long, what do I feed them so that they do not attack and consume other tank inhabitants?
Would it be better to just "donate" them to my LFS? If so, do I start over with tiny peppermints? Are there other shrimp that will leave my more docile tank inhabitants alone?
Do I really need shrimp? (that was rhetorical, actually)

Never seen any aggression from ours. The most destructive thing its done was eat tiny feather dusters, but I'm not even sure if it was him. They are pigs, but no more than our cleaner. They'll eat anything.

I thought I had only 4 but the other day saw that I had 6 peppermints. I love them they only eat aptasia and stuff I feed my fish. They a pigs though. they will come out when I'm at the tank and just look at me. I would never get ride of mine. Maybe something else is in your tank. Or you have a shrimp thats not really a peppermint.
