ImBoB Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hello I have just set up a 50L shrimp tank that has 20 ish snowballs, the tank is NOT cycled but I had added a sponge filter that was seeding in a healthy cycled fish tank for around 10 days, and I moved a little bit of gravel, 5 bio balls and a fake plant from the fish tank to the shrimp tank. I didn't get an instant cycle but I guess I have enough bacteria colonies for the low bio load of 20 shrimps, now my question is, what should I feed these shrimps, I guess that I need a food that wont dissolve in the water and make an ammonia spike that could potentially kill the shrimps. At the moment I have spirulina tablets,tropical vitality & color flakes, Tetra pro colour crisps, all of these could make a big ammonia spike if im not mistaken? cwhittwell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 id put a slice of cucumber or a green bean in for a couple hours and take it out before it starts to break down. cwhittwell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aennedry Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Blanched green peas (minus the shell) kale and spinich work as well if you have those on hand. And check out the sponsors pages for some great shrimp foods. =^._.^= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
