Your Shrimp food recommendation

Repashy, repashy, repashy, repashy.

Rachel has a long thread of people singing the praises -- With lots of the technical reasons this stuff rocks (primarily -- disintigrates VERY slowly in water, on the order of 36 hours, yet is the consistency of Jello so even baby shrimp can munch on it. Plant based binding agents that are edible -- No filler! Etc.)

The shrimp souffle is pretty well formulated with additional calcium.

Nothing else I've fed my fish or shrimp makes all of them go nuts like this stuff does.

Seeing Otos and Corys go into a massive feeding frenzy is a thing to behold.

The biggest thing is livestock can graze on this stuff in a way that they can't on any other foods. It takes a minimum of 24 hours for it to turn to mush, so they can pick at it at their leisure.

You can mash it into drift wood or onto rocks if you want. It is versatile because of the the fact that it is a gel.

It keeps for ever since you can mix up how ever much of the powder that you want.

You can mix the powders to vary diet -- We mix in Soilent Green to add more spirulina to their diet.

Just dropped a small piece into the shrimp tank. This is about 1 min into the shrimp ball formation. About twice the size now...

Mix of Malawa and Blue Pearl with a greedy Amano in the front. -- My pics are terrible, sorry

I'm offering Mulberry leaves and there is a rich bio-film on the cholla & sponge filter, also some Java fern & taiwan moss in the tank I have my new group of CRS in. They are all juv.size.

When I had Cherry shrimp they were in a planted tank and offered them worm flakes or spiurella flakes 2Xs a week to supplement the natural food in the tank. They also had a Mulberry leave from time to time. They did well on that program.

I'm running low on fish food, I buy those from a vendor at a club Swap meet. So , before I buy more I thought I'd look into Shrimp specific food.

All the major brands have a wide selection and they have their own twist on the same basic ideas. Your personal reasons are helpful to get me past the Marketing hype when I read about these foods.

I know several of the people here that sell shrimp food, some I consider friends. I would prefer to keep this thread about the food and not the sellers. I shop here 1st so who I buy from isn't a issue.

Comments about growth rates, coloration, breeding, interest in eating etc. are most helpful.

Thanks to those that have contributed so far.

^^ That and some cheap algae wafers for protein and you're set.
