uuaaayyy Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Not keeping them, but kept marine filter feeders, it somewhat similar. This article about bamboo shrimp has attached video, showing the process of feeding, you can estimate size of the necessary particles. Baby shrimp and fry food or powdered food for invertebrates (NutriGorg is buoyant, some of GoldenPearls at BrineShrimpDerect too) could be useful. Or even common fish or shrimp food could be make into powder and small amounts added to the water stream. Bacter AE , if not overdose, is also a possibility. But any powders could pollute water more than pellets in a dish (they could be removed), be careful not to spoil water. I did that once when started, now watching for it. bruce7267ad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you tell if you've spoiled your water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uuaaayyy Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Too much powdered food, even if it was a lot less than recommended dose. Unlike pellets or pads, it can't be removed and continue decomposing in the tank. And my tanks are small. See it as equivalent of the package of flakes, fed to the tank by a kid. Quality of water could be smelled after that, even if there was no ammonia spike or nitrites. Had to move all shrimps together with another color and completely reset this tank, with new water and substrate, everything else was from already running tanks. Then returned shrimp back.
