thebuddha Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 No, boil it for 10 minutes first. I've fed fresh picked without a problem, however blanching allows killing of any bad bacteria and breaking down of cells faster. I picked a few, washed them off, let the die/dry out and dropped them in the tank. Shrimp were all over them. There was one that I didn't let dry out, it seemed to never break down and shrimp weren't interested in it after the first night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4PC2 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I grew some Stinging Nettles leaves in a large pot this summer. I cut some of the fresh leaves off, and boiled them for 5 to 7 minutes, let them cool and put them in. They were gone by morning. The Shrimp loved the Stinging Nettles leaves that were fresh and green. They were fairly small as the plants have not grown in fully yet. I planted the organic seeds in May and they are just giving me some small plants now in the very large flower pot. But the shrimp definitely like them.

pastu Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I dry the mulberry leaves in the shade and feed them to the tank Sink in one day gone by the third day does not make sense to me to boil them. Lose properties. What Kind of shrimp disease could inhabit a mulberry tree ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
