I've had it! These fake peppermint shrimp need to go! I've tried over feeding them I've done the shrimp trap with no success.

I'm getting ready to start placing new frags and I notice my new favites is all chewed up and also a small piece of lypto.

Its them I see them at night just doing horrible things everywhere! Before I place frags and get growing im tearing it down tonight as little as possible, but the shrimp will be gone and the couple emeralds I have are gone too. I tried to be nice and spot feed them all but they can't be trusted with my stuff.

I'm going to put most of the rock in this 40B hopefully they don't make me take all the rocks out! The fish are gunna be upset for sure, I gave them a good feeding and a few hours of swim time before I huff and puff their house down..

What does “fake peppermint shrimp” mean? I have 4 of them in QT. Should I return them? Did you buy the wrong shrimp?
