I know this discussion is about keeping shrimp in a community tank but I think it may be a good idea to point out that a lot of the fish listed will eat baby shrimp given half the chance.
I use a mixture as well;
Sera Shrimp Natural - This is cheap and the shrimps love it!
Hikari crab cuisine - Readily available, I usually crush this up.
Shirakura Chi Ebi baby shrimp food - Especially for babies - smells like yeast (promotes micro bacteria apparently).
Once or twice a week I...
Hi Andy
I have got a small collection of moss - seems to be a collection of different mosses that it got off the bloke I originally bought the shrimp off. I have also got a small amount of fissiden fontanus (very small amount). I could probably do with some more but I am a bit cautiouos...

You could try putting a whole sponge filter over the inlet instead of a piece of sponge inside - the larger surface area should stop it clogging up as...
Hi

I usually just use Argos Playsand with some coral sand/ coral gravel mixed in.

Some people use ladies tights or stockings (nylon ones I would Imagine). You can buy filter inlet caps on ebay, I bought one - it was reasonably well made (home made) but it clogged up far to easily so i ended up bining it.
I may be going off the thread slightly and these may sound like a stupid questions but :-
Fistly do assassin snails only eat other snails, I keep various shrimps and micro crabs - I couldn't really foresee a problem with them eating shrimps but is it likely they could attack the crabs...
