Hobbit Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 In my attempts to create a sustainable infusoria culture, I’ve ended up with several jars full of seed shrimp. They’re wonderful little creatures! I love the way they swim. I’d also love for them to be a food source for fry, but I’m wondering if their hard little exteriors are too tough for tiny fry to digest, even if they can fit them in their mouth. Does anyone have experience trying to feed seed shrimp to small fry? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Maybe it depends on the size of the fry? I have a couple dozen small guppy fry in a tank that has seed shrimp and I have noticed fewer seed shrimp as the guppy colony has grown, but I can't say for sure it's the fry that are eating them. It could be that with more fry in the tank, the adults are hungrier because they are sharing food with a lot of offspring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
