Howdy fellow Nerms!

I have feed a lot of types of food to fish to my shrimp but I have discovered a new food that causes a stampede.  This is fresh repashy - morning wood.  See these pictures.  I was using shrimp sticks from extreme very popular with the shrimp but a little debris pops off during eating.  This isn’t a problem with the fresh morning wood.  Any other thoughts on the subject of shrimp food?

Many thanks,

Shrimp aren't picky eaters in my experience, they'll eat just about anything they can find, from Repashy, to pellets, to special shrimp food. I like to supplement them with an all in one with the Dennerle Complete that also includes calcium.

I have only had (cherry) shrimp for a month or so. They seem to find this and that in the sand and on the hardscape. I saw one eating a snail, from what I hear she probably didn't kill it herself though. I think they have taken midge larvae but I am not sure. I have never seen them eating stuff in the water column. One time it looked as if one of them skimmed the surface. 

I give some few random pellet / flake fish food, snow flake food, tiny bits of peas, corn and things like that. Anticipating young ones, I ordered some Glasgarten Shrimp Baby, rather expensive but I hope a little goes a long way. 

The snow flakes (soy husks) seem OK, I feel it doesn't mess upp the water if any leftovers and it feels good to offer a variety. But the shrimps are not as crazy about it as some people have experienced. 

I want to try Repashy as well!

I usually don’t target feed my shrimp. I want them to wander around and scavenge whatever they can. The only specific food I feed them once a week is GlasGarten Mineral Junkie Bites, just so I know they are getting some minerals they specifically need. They are usually on it within seconds of hitting the substrate.
