What Kind Of Shrimps?

[AlexAndCarmen]

I've been to the LFS and looked all over for frozen shrimps to feed my Queen Arabasques, but not found any. I have seen cooked, frozen one's at the super market. Are these suitable or must I just keep searching the LFS???

Thanks, Carmen

normal prawns thawed out will be fine. also other seafood like cockles and mussles would be fine.

I will be getting some soon. Our QA would love some treats I'm sure.
Also, do I need to defrost them a bit in some tank water?

Thanks
Keep well, Carmen

I feed my L260s on Tesco's frozen shell-less prawns.

I've got the shrimp, tried to skewer them to the bottom of the tank, like I do with cucumber, but the fish seem to get them up again. How do you make them stay. Is it ok to just drop them in?

when you put them in the tank squeeze them to get rid of any air trapped inside them and they will sink.

Well, the QA's have ignored them for now, our male usually comes racing over if there is food. But on the plus side, the red whiptails we got Monday are loving them . I know they were eating, because of their poop, but now I've actually seen them. Phew.

Keep well
