Our recommendations:
The shrimp do well in a sizeable colony of between 10-20 shrimp. This is to ensure there is a good mixture of sexes within the colony. And the shrimp is more active once in numbers.
Usual maintenance: Feed the shrimp at least three times a week, with a wide range of foods. At Shrimp Corner, we feed our shrimp with Vegetable Shrimp Bars , which is plant base protein containing seaweed, providing lean and optimal nutrients for shrimp. Once a week we feed our shrimp with Protein Bars, this is a protein base food to increase the growth rate of our shrimp, the shrimp breed faster & females can carry more eggs. All of these foods were developed by us, over 10 years of breeding experience, we have bred thousands of shrimp
On a serious note, do not feed shrimp with any foods contain copper.
