I have my first two shrimp drip acclimating into my nano right now. I have a red sea nano filter. Do I need to put something over the intake like sponge so they don't get injured?
I agree with Bill. A good sponge prefilter works great in shrimp tanks. It not only helps filter, but it protects the shrimp as well as provides a food source.
I cut a tiny piece and stuffed it down inside the intake tube near the very end, sound good? They are so tiny and cute..little orange shrimps!:icon_cool
thanks for your replies!
Thanks Bill, glad you enjoyed it. I am searching and reading as much as I can about feeding these little gems. This morning I ordered Hikari Crystal Red Shrimp Cuisine. I am curious as I see many people make their own food, boil veggies, etc. How much would you feed just a few tiny shrimp? Their tummys cannot be much bigger than a pinhead..:icon_mrgr
