I keep a 2.5gal stuffed with java moss with the light on 24/7 and I rotate algae covered moss into my shrimp tanks, shrimp go crazy for it even if there is other food in the tank.
Good idea. I like to put the algae covered rocks from other tanks in the pleco/shrimp tank, but the plecos usually eat it quickly. That wouldn't happen with moss.

Look at my recent post in my shrimp thread, I got a swarm of shrimps and snails on the Algae stick.. ^_^
So I see!
My shrimp are pests in my pleco tank -- a by-product of a plant or something I bought at a gsas auction, so they don't get any special foods. They do eat a wide variety of foods that my plecos get though. They like everything from their staple nls pellets to avocado to watermelon! And I swear I see them handling pleco poop too!
