peppermint shrimp in my mp10

[JeffyT]

Hi RC,

i just noticed that my peppermint shrimps will sometimes climb onto my mp10.. will they be okay? or should i be expecting some sushi in the morning?

They will be fine..
In general anything that gets stuck to a powerhead was dying anyways and too weak to save itself. or an anemone

That's not what he meant.

Yeah maybe shrimp paste. But probably not. You don't actually turn the mp10s off except for feeding right?

yeah i dont turn the pumps off unless im feeding. that probably last about 15 minutes.

My fire shrimp is on my MP10 pretty often. That said, I lost a mimic puffer that got too close. Do you have the foam cover? It is kind of a pain but does work.

im hoping the foam cover came with the pump and not something i have to buy? its just that ring right? its a stupid question but.... im really skeptic about putting things in my tank which is why i took it off in the first place.
