Which shrimp food in your opinion is the best?

[Rokerites]

Currently, there is quite a number of shrimps food in the market.
Just to name a few, there are Shirakura, Ocean Nutrition, Hikari, UPs shrimp food ... etc
What does fellow members think is their no 1 choice ?
Mind sharing whats the reason behind your pick?

Let me start the ball rolling, my vote goes to Shirakura. I find my shrimps colouration improves greatly and they don't dirty the water . Not to forget they go "crazy" when I feed them with it

IMO. mosura is the best. i heard that mosura food contain something that will make crs red part deeper and nicer. and don't forget. mosura food contains chitin if im not wrong.. can help crs molt too.

[wafer123]

heard Shirakura also very good, make the colour better

[illumnae]

are these benefits only visible in CRS or do they give obvious benefits to other types of shrimp as well?

[jedimech]

Currently, i am feeding my shrimps with the brand "UP", also claims to have chitin food & lactic calcium acid.

[Radiance]

I feed my CRs with mosura and spirulina. They are fine with both

I am feeding them Haifeng and Hikari Crab Cusine. They are very funny when feed them with Haifeng, they take the pellets and run away with it......hide somewhere to eat by themselves.

[EvolutionZ]

i heard that haifeng is fake one.. its normal fish food but they re packed into small bottle and paste shrimp food. not sure if its true though.

Your shrimps go 'crazy' over Shirakura? I bought a big packet last time and my crs Didnt even touch them until i starved them for days leh = [ Now i Use mosura, they really do go 'CRAZY' over it, dont need to starve 1st = p

Ask a stupid question, can't the shrimps eat normal flakes used to feed fish? Apologise for my ignorance.

[Rokerites]

Shrimps basically can eat almost any food that we give to the fishes.
However, specialized food for the shrimps will have its ingredients formulated toward the needs of the shrimps hence will help in enhancing the colour, growth, molting... etc.
From time to time I do give my shrimps some flakes meant for the fishes just to add varieties.

Perhaps just like humans, different batches of shrimps will have different liking

[mars_see]

mosura is the best!!!

Hi bro Chee Jin, apart from what the bros here already said, i'd just like to add that bee shrimp's natural diet is largely algae/plant based, and alot of fish food is meat based to buff up the fish and also attract them to eat it, so its not suitable for CRS. Foods like Mosura are specially formulated and plant based and will bring out the best in your crs i guess = p Hope tt helps

Cheers
