madcrafted Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 They are a good source of protein. They contain other minerals and vitamins but not in substantial quantities. You can feed them pretty much any hardwood/fruit tree leaves. I try to give my shrimps a diverse blend of vegetation. Stinging Nettle and Mulberry leaves seem to be their preferred choice. I try to pick the newest growth to feed them even though they don't seem to care whether its new growth, old, dry or boiled. It all gets eaten sooner or later. Keep an eye on nitrate levels if you leave any fresh greens in your tank for awhile. HumanArtRebel1020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 mulberry leaves are my shrimps favorite as well. I always use dry leaves though. I have read that like Indian Almond Leaves, most leaves have anti - bacterial benefits. HumanArtRebel1020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
