Hungle64 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Any idea why shrimp won't take my foods lol. I've tried everything I have.

Soothing Shrimp Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Perhaps they have enough biofilm to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Perhaps they have enough biofilm to eat. I tend to agree. How big is your tank and roughly how many shrimp do you have? Do you see your shrimp picking around at the substrate or glass or are they just sitting there? Can you see their digestive system (also called the vein). If it is full then they are finding plenty to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc4PC2 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I have been cutting off some leafs of stinging needles and boiling them for 5 to 7 minutes, and letting them cool, and putting them in the tank. They are gone by morning. The shrimp love the stinging needle leafs that I grew over the summer. Leafs are still small, but they love them.
