ahboram Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Im feeding my mischling tank every other day with 1/4 stick of taylor's snowflake food and I was just curious if just snowflake food is good enough. Im seeing all these new products and watching videos where people feed different kinds of foods, supps, etc. My tank is actually doing really well, the big female is pregnant for the 3rd time now and I have quite a bit of shrimplets (even saw my first BKK!). Started with 4 now at about 20 shrimp. Do I just continue since it seems like its not broken or should I try adding different foods into their schedule? Thanks for the help!

Aennedry Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I like giving a variety. But if you don't want to go out and buy commercial food you can just raid your kitchen and see how your shrimp are with a varied diet. Blanched spinach and kale are a hit with my shrimp, as are coked peas (centers only). I hear cooked summer squash is good as well, but that never makes it into my kitchen. Though this fall there will be tons of winter squash coming in from the garden... =^._.^= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35ppt Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Strongly believe variety is important, even if things seem good in the tanks. Different protein sources, different veggies. Leaf litter - some are 'food' and others are more water conditioning. I use fresh veggies (and fruits), and bee pollen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Depends how many shrimp in how large of a tank. Chances are if you only have 20 shrimp, their main diet is biofilm with snowflake as a supplement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
