    I tried that... they ate it... I tried pleco's they ate them, I tried snails the drowned them then ate them. I even tried cray fish, big ones, they ate them... gold fish will eat any and every thing. My gold fish are about 12 inches long though so a cleaner shrimp might be OK if your fish are small.
