Some of my red cherry shrimp eating Butternut Squash. You can see some Bristlenose catfish fry trying to work up the courage to muscle in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5hvjEqbhUo&feature=share shrimp 148 by parkadge, on Flickr

Oh they're lovely, great colouring.
They do love veggies - mine go mad for carrot and broccoli.

I have hundreds of them now, have to start shipping them out to new homes soon

I got some red crystal shrimp there as well, bit harder to keep happy.

Yeah I have them in a tank with some Bristlenose (one of which I got from yourself) and one lonely neon tetra which I can't catch without taking the tank apart.

Since I removed the other tetras and the Swordtails I had there, the population of shrimp has exploded:)
