Fairy shrimp are more similar to brine shrimp than scuds.
It depends on what you are calling a "fairy shrimp". But if you are calling ghost/glass/grass shrimp, a fairy shrimp then yes. But some people call scuds "fairy shrimp". So it depends on where you live, that is why people use scientific names. |

Scuds are amphipods. "Gammarus or similar genera".
Fairy shrimp, Eubranchipus, look a bit more like brine shrimp, and tend to be mixed in with those Triops kits, along with some daphnia too...

Said creatures are neither microorganisms nor the products of spontaneous generation. |

several months ago we bought a dozen or so to feed our fish...3 survived and took on community status in our 29 gallon (one has since gotten moved to my new 55 gallon when i moved one of my clown loaches) anyways when its feeding time they swim up just like the fish do...and given the chance i have even seen mine eat little bits of blood worms, flakes, algae tabs, and anything else..so i would have to say yea they will help clean the bottm...kinda like a cory...

Fairy shrimp and brine shrimp are generally the same thing, or close to it. Glass/ghost/grass shrimp are generally the same thing: a type of shrimp. Scuds are not shrimp, but look a little like them. Below is a site with info on pond life with pics. http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/pond/x_index.html |

Cool pictures! In college limnology class we had to do a project on the effects of pollution on chironamid's(bloodworm) jaw structure. I raise daphnia, whiteworms, microworms, vinegar eels and mosquitoe larvae for my fish. It's almost as much fun as keeping my fish. Seeing those pictures makes me want to get a microscope.

We feed freeze dried crickets, brine shrimp (live and freeze dried), freeze dried mosquito larvae, Tetra Breakfast Lunch Dinner & Treat flakes, Betta bits (for the Betta but he eats all the other foods that everyone else eats in his own tank), freeze dried earthworms, algae wafers, sinking shrimp pellets. Can't think of what else but we feed a varied diet.
