I was thinking about trying shrimp to feed to my fish and I just have a few questions about it......

1.Should I stick to pet store small dried shrimp or use our shrimp that we eat??

2.If I can use shrimp that we eat what type of shrimp should I use and what I mean by that is should i feed them baby shrimp or regular shrimp jumbo shrimp u get the idea

3.Should it be cooked in any way? Or does it matter if they are de-veined or not?

4.What amount should i use for my fish in each tank (stock in profile)

5.Will any of my fish in my stock list not eat this? If so what ones?


Any answers would be a huge help
Thanks again

the oscars can eat the pre cooked shrimp we eat as there prolly the only ones big enuf yet from ur stock jsut throw one in n see how they eat it
brine shrimp frozen at the lfs is great for neons n guppies
ghost shrimp live wood b fun for ur angel n oscars the chase down
u dont need to devein them after all fish eat them live n raw in the wild
altho frozen krill at the lfs wood be a lil bit better choice imo n its easier n neons will pick away at it
