Any one ever feed there Africans ghost shrimp, I kno u guys stress that there herbivores but I'm sure they eat shrimp in the wild if they run into them lol
 
Give it a try ... At only a few cents each, get 5-6 and see what happens. Cichlids in general are not fish anyone looking to keep shrimp should have in the tank.
 
About once a month I'll throw a half dozen ghost shrimp in with my cichlids. They seem to LOVE the live food and go crazy chasing them around trying to catch them. The ghost shrimp of course try to hide, etc.
The other day when I tore my tank down to change the substrate, I found a shrimp on the floor that had managed to jump out of the tank while being chased. Crushed it up and fed it to the fishies :p
 
Yea mine do the same a lil fun for them every now and then they didn't last 2 minutes lol
