Yes, my girls eat shrimp pellets, algae wafers, whatever they nab after lights out. Not picky at all, feed them what I give my bristlenoses. I know they are in there somewhere, lol, but really only see them when I move the driftwood to siphon the tank. I sometimes see them in the evening, usually when they are full of eggs, and looking for a mate. I need to find a male, and see if I can get some babies.
