Mr. F Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hey all, I was feeding my blue dream neos earlier and dropped in a small chunk from the green center (before I knew the whole thing was veggie) of a "tetra veggie xtreme" algae wafer. If you're familiar with these, you'll recognize them as the 1/2" disks with a tan edge and green center. Plecos love them, which is why I have a huge bag of them, but apparently so do neos! After a couple of minutes of dropping it in the tank, almost all of my shrimp and new shrimplets I hadn't even seen before! I was wondering if there is too much protein in these for regular feeding of neos? The bag says crude protein is 30%, but I wondered if it is plant/algae based, is it as bad for them as fish based? The list of ingredients show that it is in fact vegetarian. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem_xxiii Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 nah, you should be fine. neos tend to eat everything and anything which does not surprise me too much that they ate these up. As long as you are not feeding that much protein constantly to your shrimp you should be fine. Shrimp Life and Mr. F 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
