List all cray and shrimp foods

[Pyramid_Party]

Hi,


List all the cray and shrimp foods you feed. There is some foods I would like to stay away from. For instance, I gave my cherry shrimps crushed cichlid gold pellets, and while colors came out more, growth sped up, I also think it killed some of them. Could of been the high protein or maybe another ingredient.


I usually just feed crushed algae wafers and dried seaweed. I tried some tubifex worms, though I know they are high in protein. I have some dwarf crays housed with cherry shrimp so I'd like to feed them foods that both can handle.

I feed my marble crays Wardley algae wafers or Ocean Nutrition Formula Two (algae based frozen food).

- Hikari Algae Wafers
- Hikari Frozen Bloodworms (once a week)
- Aquarian Sinking Shrimp Pellets for Bottom Feeders
- Fresh veggies like carrots, green peas, lettuces, cucumber and zucchini (2-3 times a week)

I have to ask, what is snail jello?

Its unflavored gelatin mixed with vegetable baby food and I add fish foods and calcium and vitamins. Its an easy way to get a calcium fortified nutrient rich diet into bottom feeders. Its not disimilar to making gel foods for goldfish or high protein diet for cichlids/discus. Just an adaptation for snails. I freeze the food and it lasts for about a month and costs maybe $1 to make each batch.

Interesting. May have to try making this sometime.
