1. do they eat algae.
2. What temperatures do they like?
3. Can they be in a tropical community tank? Thanks!

1. Not very much. They may pick at it, they'll eat whatever the fish are eating.
2. Pretty wide range
3. Yes, but some fish might find them tasty and they might eat small fry.

They're pretty fun to watch and don't really count towards the bio-load of the tank.
Here's their profile: Ghost Shrimp

I have: danios, platy, Yellow ram, betta, and killifish. Will they work together?

Lucy

You have a betta with these fish? How long have they been together?
IMO, the betta shouldn't be in there. Ram's and bettas can both be very territorial fish.
Bettas love shrimp, but given enough hiding places, you might get lucky.

The betta has been in there for months. The Ram doesn't act territorial. The betta does to it though, but not to the other fish.

The Betta might find them tasty. If you can relocate the Betta to a 5 of its own, it would be much happier and and also, you would be able to add a big colony of ghosts! They are really cute to look at.

I have ghost shrimp in with danios, guppies, cories and they are cool. I love to watch them, they like to hang out on the tops of the plastic plants.

if you supply enough plants the shrimp would be able to live in the tank even with the betta. Enough hiding places and they'd be perfectly fine, atleast the majority of them, and they'll even possibly breed if you have a good enough group of 'em!
