My Red Nose Shrimp

[argv1900]

I really like them.
Shy creatures.

Apology for the resolution, lousy photo taker and taken them using my phone.

Me too! I also like Red nose shrimps. Have you managed to breed them?

Is yours brackish water setup?

No leh.
I am totally a newbie.

Just finished cycled my water a month back.
Added in fire reds about 2 weeks back and red nose a week ago.

i found them to be very gentle compare to fire red.

Eating Corn

[argv1900]

Even my oto was interested

[rogerjr]

corn? interesting!

[argv1900]

My nose shrimps love corn.
Unfortunately, i don't have good camera, otherwise you can see their stomach full of corn.

cooked or raw corn? sounds interesting, first time see someone feed corn to shrimps.

You have tested 2-3 types of food and which one yours prefer? Mine does not go much for algae pellets alot.

When I'm free maybe ill try it before my tank decom. Maybe on video?

I think cooked one.
I steal my wife's frozen corn then put in hot water for few mins.

Iam a beginner, so far only give mosura special food, corn, green peas and spinach.
My red noses love corn most. My fire reds love mosura.
I only have 4 red noses (1 sucked by my filter and went to heaven) & 8 fire red (but somehow can only find 7 of them)

By the way, I peel outer part of the corn.
Otherwise too hard for the shrimps to eat.

[felix_fx2]

Haha you actually found out it went filter. Half of mine actually went missing and I didn't notice.

About the eating habits of red nose, something makes me think they don't digest fully before it comes out as shit.

But will they munch on plants ? Seem they will start eating plants after algae has been depleted.
