Be careful of the larger shrimp, they seem to like to eat fish, bugs, etc. that are smaller than themselves before they eat algae. So if you are breeding your apistos, the fry may not be safe from the shrimp. I also found that Amano shrimp like Java moss more than hair algae, so they didn't do their job too well. ===== J.
