What do ghost shrimp eat?

Also are they saltwater or freshwater animals?

Ghost Shrimp with Common Goldfish?

I recently bought 2 ghostshrimp, 3 common goldfish http://species.fishindex.com/photo_3191carassius_auratus_auratus_goldfish.html, and a shubunkin http://www.shubunkin.de/images/shubunkin10.jpg, and i was just wondering if these are compatible. The sales person at the store said they were, but after 2 hours, one common goldfish was dead and a ghost shrimp was missing. help!
it is a nine gallon tank!

I’m looking for a small freshwater eel for my community aquarium.?

i have 5 tiger barbs, 1 small goldfish, 5 ghost shrimp, an upside down catfish, and a fancy guppy. I saw and eel at the pet store that was said to only grow to 6 inches long and it didn’t bother any of the fish in the tank with it. While the name escapes me I know it is light tan with a forward facing mouth. Would it be o.k. to add this to my community tank, or will it try to eat my lovable ghost shrimp. I don’t want them to die, nor my other fish

freshwater ghost shrimp..?

I put a ghost srimp in my tank a few weeks ago, and it was fairly big. then yesterday i couldnt find it and i also couldnt today. but i found this thing that looks like a baby shrimp.. does the ghost shrimp lose its shell and look like that or did it have a baby? and what happened to the shrimp i put in my tank?

How do I treat my fish for ich?

I have a 30 gallon freshwater community tank consisted of 10 rasboras, 3 cories, 2 rainbowfish, 2 german rams, 1 bristlenose pleco, 1 oto, and 20 ghost shrimp. The tank is moderately planted. I noticed that my German Ram has several white spots on its fins, which appear to be ich. How can I treat the tank, or the infected fish, without harming the sensitive fish, plants or invertebrates?
