travellife Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Just an update. Babies are doing fine, highest count is 15. Still have them in the planted vase which seems very balanced, water is pristine, no longer experiencing green buildup on the surface, 3-1/2 months old now. I'm considering buying supplemental food such as Bacter AE but am concerned with polluting the vase. Does anyone has suggestions for brands or type of food that doesn't disintegrate rapidly and promotes healthy molts? So far I've only fed an occasional Marineland Color Enhancing Flake which they love and it isn't real messy. Shrimp King spinach loops look interesting. travellife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 maybe a tiny amount of snowflake type food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travellife Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 maybe a tiny amount of snowflake type food.Thankyou for that suggestion. I found Snowflake by SL-Aqua that has very good reviews and people say their shrimp love it. The only problem is it's messy. I don't have a lot of space for a feeding dish in the vase. I'm on the lookout for a tiny glass dish I can use to put food in, no more than 1 inch diameter. travellife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 an old eye contact you no longer use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travellife Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hah, like a glass contact? OK that's going real tiny. I have a glass tealight candle holder that may work but has been used so if I boil it should be safe. It's smooth glass with a glossy surface, not a porous finish. Wish they made tiny Pyrex Petri dishes.travellife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travellife Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 There are tiny clay pot saucers that are 2 inch diameter x 1/2 inch high. Would that be safe to use?travellife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 yes those terra cotta saucers would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
