My fish to indeed enjoy them from time to time; the little critters are great for cleaning up detritus ( fish poop ) and all kinds of others things I'm sure.

It's good to have them in your tank.:wink:

I've noticed my sandbed is cleaner now.i have very little algae thanks to my 10 snails and bi-color blenny and there's not much fish/snail poop either for me to syphon.guess they are benificial...
