I took out the only single Amano shrimp from my tank yesterday - saw it happily eating and uprooting the UG as it was probably quite hungry. What confirmed this was when I saw it clipping several leaves of UG in half and the top half floats away while it continued to nibble on the remainder. It seems to prefer UG to algae.
I also recalled my Amano shrimps eating my floating UG in my nano tank before when they were hungry. I soon found out from some other forums that shrimps do like to snack on UG. So no shrimps for me for now (until the lawn is lush), and I hope this helps other who may wish to try UG.
