They really like a well-seasoned sponge filter. Ample Java Moss is always appreciated as well. Otherwise . . . just finely pinched fish food, fry powder, and some Omega One Algae Wafers have all been some things we've fed ours. Above all, shrimp thrive in a an old, mature tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feed mine 4-5 times per week, but that's probably more than necessary. Edited May 25, 2021 by JettsPapa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 maybe squeeze an old sponge filter(aquarium co op brand works best 🤣) in the tank to get some detritus. I would not feed hikari algae wafers it could be from something else but I always have a shrimp die after feeding it btw I don't have a colony yet so I only had 10 shrimp to start and I lost 1 after feeding, same thing with the first time I had shrimp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Repashy Super Green...they love the stuff. Repasy Super Green was created for algae eating, herbivorous fish and invertebrates. It is made of purely plant-based ingredients and does not contain any animal products or byproducts. This makes it an ideal food for fish who's main diet would naturally consist of plants. This food is rich in plenty of vitamins and minerals to boost fish growth and health long term. Otocinclus, shrimp, snails and many more will find this meal delicious and nutritious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaneFishGuy Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Fluval Shrimp Bug Bites and Hikari Crab Cuisine. They love the crab cuisine and its fun to watch them all attack it. They seem to fill up on it pretty fast though and stop doing their day job of cleaning the tank....With the larger pellet size I have to remember to just do a bare minimum amount of pellets to avoid having it sit at the bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoNano Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I've been feeding Sera Shrimp Food (pellets). They have a fairly high protein and filler content, but my Neo shrimp and Trumpet Snails make a beeline for them and the pellets are always totally consumed within a couple of hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the time, they can graze on the moss and wood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Aquatics Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I feed omega shrimp or catfish sticks. They always go for that. I also have a lot of Java Moss in my tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
