Soothing Shrimp Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Not really a question of how often, but how much you feed. How many babies do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStDisco Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 maybe like 5-6 big enough that I can see I have that hikaria shrimp food the smaller pellets that the babies seem to be doing fine and I also have a little larger pellet that I tos in there for the bigger ones too. I do a small pinch for the hikaria and 1-2 pellets every 3 days since I have a med planted tank 4 small swords a large sword and 2/3 anbuias.

DETAquarium Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Honestly when diagnosing how often and how much to feed your shrimp, we need to know a few variables. How many shrimp do you have and how large is your aquarium? I usually feed my larger colonies 50+ shrimp Monday, Wednesday, Friday 3/4 of a stick/pad/etc. My smaller colonies of 15-30 shrimp I usually feed Monday, Wednesday, Friday 1/4 of a stick/pad/etc. All of my aquariums are 17.1g and I occasionally feed them Mulberry, Amaranth, and/or Snowflake on the weekends (once a month).
