[llhan]

My crs n rili shrimp are not eating.
Help needed!!!

Feeding mosura excel.

[cheetf]

How long already?

[llhan]

For 4abt 6 days already.Any thing wrong with them.

[cheetf]

What else do you have in your tank?

[llhan]

i have some nana plant, star mosses, and fresh waster sea weed all on drift wood. running on 24degree.

[llhan]

still got some frog bits

[cheetf]

Seems like plenty of food for them. Don't worry too much. They should be okay.

[llhan]

ok thanks alot.

[burgerdog]

I've come to realize that my shrimps will never eat one kind of food for prolonged periods of time.

So I have to alternate foods once I notice them losing interest in eating.

But cheetf is right... seems like you have plenty of food for them anyway.

[marimo]

see your rili intestine , assuming transparent.. if its filled with black poo
if it is , then they been feeding on bio film and micro organism

i have 6 different types of food .. so i change everyday

[Neondagger]

Everyday? I only feed 3 days 1 time.

In the process of learning. painful but fun!

[llhan]

hmm ok thx for all the advice. i will monitor them closely.thankz

[avex30]

probably nothing to jump about but do monitor it could be cases like hobbist above mention or..... My case is hydra cause they spread like wild fire on wall and soil and plants and sponge. So bascially my shrimps keep getting stung until they practically keep hiding. No matter how or what you feed they won't come out. But for your case if they still wonder around digging the soil mean they might be picky.

By the way how long did you have them?? Sometimes shrimps joining a new tank do have that problem.

Can't agree with your statement. I have fed my shrimps with the same food for very long time since I started with this hobby.

[marimo]

then xmant shrimp food really "ji ho jiak"
i think still insist to feed the shrimps 5-6 times a week
there's a difference been shrimp eating full and eating nutritional food full

[reiner09]

Hmm i feed my shrimps the same food everyday they also finish it..

[Neondagger]

Hmm I think I should start feeding my shrimp more often

I feed mine everyday. They ate home-made food. The food has all the necessary ingredients which will be needed by all shrimps.
The same food is used to feed the shrimplets and adults.

If yo see their front legs moving actively, obviously picking on things and gg to the mouth, they are eating. If they hv ample food, they won't be as keen in food you throw in. Nothing to be alarm.

+1 for the black intestine = they are feeding on bio film and micro organism.
