The amount of algae that platies can eat always surprises me. There was a piece of decor in my male betta's tank that was covered in hair algae. My platy tank had a bunch of babies, so I switched the piece to the platy tank and the next day, every bit of hair algae had disappeared. Adorable little eating machines. Looking forward to the shrimp files. My husband loves cherry shrimp, and I've considered setting up a shrimp tank for him lol. Totally not as an excuse to play with a new tank. 😏

I am so g;ad that you mentioned Mollies and Platies and Guppies. Just had this happen at our local big chain pet store. No body helping a lady and her 10 year old son who both looked lost. I asked if they needed any advice. The son had a 35 gal (130 lit) neon tetra and glow fish tank. They wanted some more colorful fish and had "a little algae" (Normal for a tank that gets minor direct sun) so I said guppies and a bit less food. Mabey if tank load is good a few cory to clean bottom resting food. When the employee showed up they were talked into a common Pleco. No color and totally wrong for their tank. But that is what they walked out with because "Algae" Woot more shrimp stuff to come!

Regarding cherry/ neo cardinia shrimpers, I just started a 10g invertebrate tank with a pair of Bamboo/ wood shrimp, asst neo cardinia and a mystery 🐌. It's amazing to see the difference in character of different colors of neo cardinia, I have yellow, orange and red cherry because I don't really mind if they breed together and I get a certain percentage of wild/ mud style along with the colors. But anyway, the yellow guys are total type A extroverts, the orange guys follow the yellow and the red cherries are shy boys/ girls and stay inside my driftwood pile! It's so neat to see their differences!
