tyh Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 i currently have a 7 gal nano... mostly LPS and softies, which i use marine snow to feed occasionally.( twice a week) just wondering, can i keep a blood shrimp alive using this feeding regime? or must i buy flake food? Link to comment
The Unit Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 do u feed the tank and brine shrimp or anything for fish?....shrimps and crabs a scavengers...they will find something to eat..... Link to comment
technoshaman Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Don't worry they are good scavengers. Shy but you can drop a food pellet or two near his hiding place, mine goes ballistic when he smells food and comes charging out stepping all over my beautiful trachyphllia and fungia. once ot twice a week and he can get that if you are worried.

sjpresley Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 And if you keep so zooanthid in there, he can snack on them at his leisure should he get hungry. Link to comment
technoshaman Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 mine has never gone near my zoos and my nano is covered in them. Sure you arent thinking of a camelback shrimp? Link to comment
sjpresley Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Yeah, I'm sure blood shrimp's most common food in the wild are small polyps, zooanthids, and such. Generally, they will only attack new growth...but in a well fed tank they may not even do that. There are many accounts of zooanthid growth explosions after loss of a Lysmata shrimp. Link to comment
