I haven’t been keeping up with my tanks too much lately. They’re being sustained, but I wouldn’t say they are flourishing. I can see that some of my Dwarf Crayfish have died. They turn orange in color when they die, like the color of a cooked shrimp. I haven’t gotten around to cleaning out the tank and removing any bodies, because I know in the back of my head that the rest of the crayfish will scavenge anything left around. What did catch me by surprise was this.

This is my Olive Nerite Snail that I have in the tank to polish off the bits of algae that do spring up on the glass. I caught him sucking the carcass of a Dwarf Crayfish clean. You can see the claw of the deceased on the bottom right. These snails not only eat algae, but I have a hunch they will eat anything edible they come across.
