Shrimp Food Bowl

tobystanton · 07-04-2012, 09:09 PM

Hey does anyone know where I can get some shrimp food bowls ?

I saw this on ebay but its kind of pricey, anyone know any good alternatives ?

You also could just search for pyrex petri dishes (small) on amazon. I think they sell in wholesale amounts though.

If you can't find it just look for Han or Neoshrimp, they both sell it.

Dollar store glass candy dish or any little glass dish or the bottom part of a ceramic planter is what I use like these. 3/$1 at the buck store.

You can also use candle holders. I have one I use right now but the outer edge is REALLY thick. Still, for 75 cents it was fine. I just got a couple from Neoshrimp that should be here tomorrow.

Look for h4n in the Power Sellers section, he'll take good care of you. I buy from him a lot and he's outstanding.

I have actually a reptile food dish that looks like a tree stump. I think it was like 7 or 8. It comes in different colors and it really blends in nicely. That's what I use.

Thanks for the help all, I decided to order one from H4N and I bought the one on ebay as well (Ebay bucks came out today !).

Ill post pics of the two when I get them !

i use bamboo joints for my food dishes

Bananariot · 07-05-2012, 06:57 AM

Not gonna lie though....OP's food dish pic looks pretty snazzy

Kunsthure · 07-05-2012, 11:42 AM

I like the bamboo joint idea! MIL's backyard is covered in bamboo, I can just get some of hers. Another good place for shrimp to pick at.

are those bladder snails in your tank wicca?

do they eat your plants?

somewhatshocked · 07-05-2012, 02:54 PM

Those are Ramshorn. Though, neither Ramshorn nor Bladder Snails eat healthy plants.
