Soothing Shrimp Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Just curious what food you like to feed your crays? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Life Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I have cajun dwarf crays and the dwarf blue crays - I feed the kens veggie and catfish pellets- I also feed sinking red bits I buy off ebay. My plecos and shrimp also like these... What do you feed yours? http://www.kensfish.com/aquarium-supplies/fish-food-feeders/kens-premium-catfish-sticks.html http://www.ebay.com/itm/Small-Sinking-Discus-Cichlid-Bites-Perfect-for-all-Tropicals-Shrimp-Snails-/331442128588 Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revaria Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 For the last week I have had them I have been feeding mine organic squash and zucchini (Might switch to non organic soon cause its pricey), Hikari algae wafers, Hikari crab pellets, CSF Omnipro, BorneoWild grow, and some random discus pellets. They aren't choosey at all and seem to like the organic veggies the best. I prep them the way Rachael O Leary does.

ohmiko Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I fed my CPO fresh live blackworms and it would also jump into barley pellets causing an explosive mess in my tank Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Organic veggies are pricey PLEASE do not buy conventionally raise vegetables as they use literally tons of chemicals to control bugs and disease's. These chemicals leave residue on the surface and in the vegetable's cells themselves. Some are deadly to shrimp (not good for us either) Now is the time to go to a local Farmers Market as there is a glut of vegetables that can be bought cheaply and dehydrated or just hung up and dried for future use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will stick to the organics and buy when they are on sale or at the farmer's market when I have the time and freeze the rest. oem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newellcr Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Kens flake, sticks, and pellets. They get spare hornwort and other plants fairly regularly. When I can spare Grindal worms, they get those as well. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
