I just set up a tank and in the past on other tanks I tried peppermint shrimp for cleanup but they didn't do anything. This time I didn't feed my tank.(not really an option unless you take your fish out and QT them while you don't feed the tank) But I put 5 shrimp into my tank where as last time I only put one, and this time they get together in a little 'gang' and go out to seek and destroy. Pretty neat to watch. I think when they're in a group its almost like they're competing with each other. My tank is Aptaisia free and no pesky mojanos either. I didn't have a lot of them but now I have none. It might be worth a try if you buy a group of them, put them in your tank and keep going about doing things the way you are already.(maybe you don't need to stop feeding the tank)
Just a thought,
