It's really depend on your shrimps preference as for my shrimps eat any Kind of shrimp food.i bought crs haven food and mosura.one of my friends crs they don't eat mosura food so see if your shrimps are picky food eaters.But if your shrimps eat anything mosura would be good but the price also good so yeah depends on your budget and your shrimps

Mosura has quite a huge range of shrimps food. I remember seeing excel is good for growth and another kind is good for improving the quality.

Feed them a variety of food but if you do not have many shrimps, try sharing the purchases with others as the shirmps will start ignoring the food when it is more than a month or two unless your starve them for a few days. It's probably due to the food getting stale over time even though I keep them refrigerated.

Powder would be more suitable especially if you have newly born shimplets or juvenile shrimplets.

Mosura has excel , bioplus and crystal red shrimp specialty food.The crystal red shrimp specialty food is suitable as staple diet for shrimps.Supplement your shrimps with excel once a week . Lastly , bioplus is more suitable for shrimplets.

Agree with Bro Ebi, a variety of food is always good.

Mosura specialty and Borneowild Frenzy (treats) should me good.

But I was wondering if the powder food is uneaten by our shrimps will the food mould and spike up the ammonia? This is my greatest concern, but for my shrimplets I put a bit of tonic pro in :/

Hmmm try bioplus? Its for shrimplets too and of course dont overfeed as with any other food. Leftovers from bioplus will help create the biofilm as alternative source of food for the shrimps...

tonic pro is more of a vitamin/nutrient tonic supplement for the shrimps if im not mistaken...
