name of shrimps commonly used as feeders

[aqualover]

anyone knows the name of shrimps commonly used as feeders? The type that are sold a dime a dozen.

[gummynut]

i think they are commonly known as 'ghost shrimp' or 'glass shrimp'.

Hi,
Does ghost shrimp eat algae?

[michael lai]

They are primarily scavengers and carnivore to a huge extent. For algae, they are not considered as a good clean up crew.

[gummynut]

ghost shrimps don't really eat algae, from my observation. they usually go for fish food instead. look for yamato shrimp for algae cleaning instead.

They will anything and everything except algae... Think tubifex worms, blood worms, fish food, small fish etc... But when they grow bigger, the males can look very nice, with those long pincers...
