Frequently Asked Questions
What do freshwater shrimp eat? Shrimp graze on biofilm and algae in the tank, but a dedicated shrimp food provides the minerals, protein, and plant matter they need for steady molting, color, and breeding.
How often should I feed my shrimp? A small amount every day or two is usually plenty. Feed only what the colony finishes within a couple of hours and remove leftovers to keep the water clean.
Is shrimp food different from regular fish food? Yes. Shrimp foods are mineral-rich and plant-forward to support molting and shell development, whereas most fish food is formulated for the protein needs of fish.
Can I keep shrimp with fish? Many nano fish and peaceful community fish coexist well with shrimp, especially in a well-planted tank with plenty of cover.
