They are pretty easy to feed really. Mine get algae wafer, sinking wafer, occasional flake or micro pellet, shrimp and lobster bites.....They are very easy. Just feed sparingly as they don't eat much and its easy to get little critters like planaria in a shrimp tank.

Nice shrimps! I don't need a heater myself either. I have one here but only for emergency purposes.
I think I saw a single planaria worm. Thought it was a piece of cobomba leaf, then it squiggled... Should I be concerned about it?
One time I put a big heater in a small tank. It was a bad thing that happened. Freshwater fish stew. My experience though.
emergency purpose:
Putting a 250 watt stealth in this 10 gal tank, brought the temp up from 68, to 78 in about 40 minutes...
its about 45 degrees outside, and I am waiting for a part, soo I can fix my furnace.. no heat in the house for 2 days now...
Not sure why this would happen. it still shuts off at a 78F... Heard of it before though.
Brrrrrr!
Updated shots...
I rescaped the plants a little, and here it is today!
1 week later...
No baby shrimp yet though, I think they hatched out in my 125, before I moved them to their own tank...

Congratulations!
Planaria are harmless per se, but they can be indicators of excessive nutrient load.
