betta N ghost shrimp

[stewartsthebest]

ok, heres how it is: my betta eats the food before the ghost shrimp get any.. help!!!

there will always be something for the shrimp to clean up...whether its left over food or poop. shrimp arent picky. you could also drop a piece of an algae wafer in. i doubt the betta would touch that.

Hi stewartsthebest,

i wouldn't really worry i have a Caridina Japonica ( Amano ) shrimp in my community tank i dont put anything in the tank other than fish flakes and he seems to be doing fine.

Shrimps eat all kinds of stuff from what i have noticed from mine. I was told it is an algy eating shrimp but i've seen it stuff his face with frozen blodd worm? go figure that one out

If u find an skeleton ( his skin ) lying about and he's still in there, he's growing therefore u know he's eating

You should invest in a turkey baster. You could use it to project flakes, blood worms, etc. at the shrimp. They're amazingly good at catching food!

Just be glad the shrimp isn't the food.
