I was thinking of getting some shrimp to help with my hair algae problem, but have been told they may be food for the Angels. My angels are only about 2-3" at the moment and a 1" shrimp will not fit in their mouth.

Is it the fact that they will pick on the shrimp and attack in bits and pieces? The tank is planted at what I consider 50% and I could re add some rocks to make hidey holes.

Your thoughts and opinions please.

I would not recommend doing it, I thought the same thing. Sure enough they ate all my shrimp.

2 angel fish vs 20 ghost shrimp = 1 ghost shrimp left

Plants may delay the inevitable.

Fair enough, thanks for the opinions guys. I will go for the blackout routine.

You fish say it would be fine!

In my experience fish can fit more in their mouths than you'd think. If you don't mind them getting eaten you could add some as tank cleaners/live food and see how long they last. Add them after lights out at night.
