gantnege Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 My local LFS sells live adult brine shrimp for $2.99 a teaspoon, which I want to feed as an occasional treat (I mainly feed formula 1 flake, occasional frozen bloodworms, I may get some other frozens). About how much should I feed to my ocellaris clown / watchman goby / skunk cleaner shrimp? The one time I've done it, I fed maybe a quarter of it to the tank, the feeding frenzy lasted about 15 minutes until they were all gone. I fed the balance of the shrimp to my four freshwater tanks. By the way, as a side question, can pulsing Xenia eat adult brine shrimp? I didn't think so, but when I fed my tank and the powerheads moved the shrimp through the Xenia, they were pulsing like crazy! Link to comment
doncb Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 From what I've read Pulsing Xenia do not really "eat". They are photosynthetic (sp). Here is a link for information: http://www.centralpets.com/critterpages/fi...s/SWI1738.shtml Seems ph & iodine levels are important to their health. When I bought mine the LFS recommended DT's Phytoplankton for all myfilter feeders. HTH Link to comment
