    Nice crs and interesting to see them in group.

    You feed them with raw or boiled spinach (i assumed)

    What other food do you feed them?

    Care to share?

    Those in the picture are boiled spinach. I guess thats the favourite food for all shrimps.

    Beside that, I also feed algae wafers, mosura food.

    Right now Im trying a new kind of feed stuff which readily dissolve and will not pollute the water.

    Boiled spinach are one of the best natural food, just make sure you take them out after 2hrs.

    yeah, got to feed them fast after boiling, vitamin C also already lost a great deal by boiling, and if you wait or store them, more vitamins will be lost.

    Spid,

    You know when you go incamp, and head out field. Most of the food i pack is for a duration of 3 hours only, afterwise i am ask to dispose of them. Logically it should be inline with keeping spinach in your tank for too long.

    Ok noted...thanks for sharing. I have tried feeding steamed spinach due to excessive loss of vitamins/minerals when boiled. However my shrimps do not seems to like it.

    Food for 3hrs..? I thought we have the outfield food pack that can last for several months? Well i get your point about leaving it for too long in the water as it may foul and spoil our tank parameters.
