Debris in tank

First off, Happy Thanksgiving all. I was removing the raw shrimp from my cycling 75g tank, as the shrimp was coming out it disintergrated, so I have small pieces float around in the tank, getting lodged within the rocks. Will this be a problem or will the pieces decay into nothing, this is week three of the cycle.

Yup it will break down. No worries.

Agreed, it's a good thing to help get your cycle going. Once your cycle is complete, just do a water change to drop your nitrates.
