1. can i put a glass ghost shrimp in my 55 gallon african mbuna cichlid tank. 11 africans and one kind of catfish...i think its that lace one. if so how many?

2. can i put a glass ghost shrimp in my guppy tank of 5 gallons. (2 guppies in there) if so how many?

3. can i put a glass ghost shrimp in my 30 gallon soon to be holding 1 bolivian ram, 1 german blue ram, 1 german gold ram, and 2 albino cory cats...i think. if so how many?

4. how much of a bio load do these little guys put out? they only get to 2 inches right?

5. having an algae problem..and im scared to use the chemicals to get rid of it...becuase it said to not use on newly established tank...which all of mine are...the 55 gallon is 2 months old...and 5 gallon is 4 months. and my 30 gallon is still cycling (thinking of possible tankmates, im doing a fishless cycling on this one) so what can i use for clean up crew that eat algae only?

Sure you can, as many as you like, but they won't last long at all.

2. can i put a glass ghost shrimp in my guppy tank of 5 gallons. (2 guppies in there) if so how many?

Sure you can, 10-15 suggested.

3. can i put a glass ghost shrimp in my 30 gallon soon to be holding 1 bolivian ram, 1 german blue ram, 1 german gold ram, and 2 albino cory cats...i think. if so how many?

Sure you can, 20-30, they may last or the Rams may eat them.

4. how much of a bio load do these little guys put out? they only get to 2 inches right?

It's pretty small - I'd say 2 grown GS=1 sm. guppy

5. having an algae problem..and im scared to use the chemicals to get rid of it...becuase it said to not use on newly established tank...which all of mine are...the 55 gallon is 2 months old...and 5 gallon is 4 months. and my 30 gallon is still cycling (thinking of possible tankmates, im doing a fishless cycling on this one) so what can i use for clean up crew that eat algae only?

Feel free to use some Flourish Excel. It's pretty invert-friendly

Cherry Shrimp - same as GS, but 4/guppy bio load, even easier to eat
