yuppers, especially after a big water change, shipping, change in parameters or part of normal growth.

LOL I should have taken befor and after pictures. My plant leaves are clean, my intake tubes are clean, the back wall, where I let the algae grow at will is clean, They came on Tuesday. I'm glad they will eat regular fish food, because I'm running out of algae!

Don't forget too leave the molted exoskeleton in so they can eat the lost nutrients.
