OMG Aquatics Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 If you're going to feed shrimp baby, be sure to add it into a food dish or something to know if you're overfeeding or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 What type of filter are you using? Maybe easier to use a syringe to place the powder where you see fit. If you have a sponge or HMF it shouldn't be a problem, but with canister filters it can easily suck up through the outtake fairly quick. As Dukendabears said overdosing of any three could cause this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wygglz Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 To prevent the filters eliminating the powder foods I premix a bit of it with some tank water in a cup then pour it in. Otherwise it floats for a bit and my filters eat well. Trotwood and Soothing Shrimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citycode01 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'm switching off my canister filter for about 45min - 1 hour when I feeding powder foods so the powder can settle down on the surface and not sucking into the filter. Am i only one who doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpie Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 Yeah, I mix about 1/4 cup tank water with SL Aqua Magic Powder and SL Aqua Baby powder. Then I use a syringe to distribute all over the aquarium. Since I have an hmf and a canister filter, I leave the canister filter off for several hours. Seems like everyone gets a good amount.
