Red Cherry Shrimp

Great idea if you can keep them from getting sucked into your pumps. It will take a long time to get a population large enough to feed from though and will be kind of a waste seeing that you can get $1 a piece pretty easily for them. How about marmokrebs in your sump or a worm bin. I have a worm bin and my rays love the extra treats. Great for getting pups eating too, and cheaper than constant trips to the bait store.

I'm currently trying this with ghost shrimp in my sump.

I was told ghost shrimp will not breed without salt water (not sure if true) but i do get a 100 or so of them every couple weeks as a treat.
Not trying to get the thread off track or anything but When ever I get ghost shrimp half of them are dead the next day have you ever had that happen?

I feed all at once... so.... I have not had that happen...but that may have to do with the salt thing i was told.
Ok interesting. I'm probably going to try the cherry red shrimp now and see what happens.

I know the getting stuck in pump intakes is my only worry. My pumps have strainers on but not good enough to stop a shrimp getting sucked in.
I already keep worms, just want to get as much variation in the diet as possible.

Sometimes they do get sucked up by the pump but I'm blocking the pump off with fish netting. They can jump off of it.
