Cleaner Shrimp Bioload

[Nor_Cal_Guy]

I have searched and only found a few opinions on the invert. I only ask because I have a Biocube 29g and a LARGE cleaner shrimp. I know they clean, hence the name sake. But do you think it adds significant waste from how much it eats in proportion to it's size?? It's bigger then any fish in the tank. Er go, should I count it as a fish?

No. From a bioload perspective, it is essentially free.

 

[Nor_Cal_Guy]

Free is good.

 

[snorvich]

Free is good.

Amen to that. Corals and other inverts are also basically free.

Shrimp have a very very very low bio-load. If you look, much of them is actually just tail-meat.

Free is not good when it's malaria-spreading mosquitos. Malaria-spreading mosquitos should not be free. That and nuclear weapons.
