    I feed mine so that they hang around. Besides the brine, the mandarin I have LOVES them. He can't help himself, he's a fatty. I throw an algae wafer into their rubble pile maybe once a week and they go nuts!

    You don't want to get rid of them. they are very good scavengers. Let them thrive.
