StevieT Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 yes, you need to feed the shrimp if you have no fish. After you stock with fish then it will eat the same food, whatever makes it to the sand bed. Mine will eat right out of my fingers, he is a pig and a bully for food. Link to comment

coralcor Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 did u get the joes juice? no i gota aptasia-x worked great! Link to comment
StevieT Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Feed your tank every other day tops. Make sure the food is gone within a few minutes. Turn your filtration pumps off when you feed. I love rods food. www.rodsfood.com There are so many different kinds and it really depends on your stocking. For a shimp it will eat anything meaty, mysis or other. Do not feed brine shrimp. It may even eat flakes, my pep. shimp loves it all. Link to comment

StevieT Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 they are just cleaning whatever is new in their environment. My stupid shrimp gets stuck to newly glued corals. He gets his arms into the fresh super glue gel, so now I have to keep him away until it cures. Link to comment
