zodiac Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 i've hear a while ago they love the stuff,but.. i don't want a powder or food that stays a solid. i like foods that are solid,but breaks up soon after adding it to the tank. any suggestions?

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 pollen will break up into powder though. h4n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I use Han's purple bee pollen. It does disintegrate into powder slowly in the tank, but the shrimp eat it all before it has a chance to foul the water. I only feed a few granules at a time as a healthy treat, not a main staple food. h4n and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaydoubleyou Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I recently realised bee pollen is amazing fish/shrimp food lol I have bags of it in the fridge from the local bee farmer. Today i fed it to Cotton, our Betta who is stressed and sick with ich. He loved it thank goodness. The ghost shrimp fight like dogs over it and the Panda Cory's sniff like crazy for it. It tends to "melt" a bit after slowly sinking but the fish/shrimp smell it right away and eat it so fast it doesn't have a chance to really muddy the substrate or water. Cant say the RCS's like it too much they just chill and munch their moss for now. Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpmaster Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 They love it, but I don't feed it too much. Not sure if all these 'sugar' is good for the shrimp. But i mix a little of it through the main food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadenlea Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 My shrimp go crazy for Hans purple bee pollen but I don't feed it very often. To many other foods here to play with ! h4n and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
