I have a jar of baker yeast left over from my days to make DIY co2. Now I am using it to feed my daphnia culture.
I am wondering if I can just feed yeast directly to my planted shrimp tank. Will shrimp eat yeast directly, or will yeast promote growth of biofilm shrimp feed on. Baker yeast come in micro pellets similar to fish food which commonly contain yeast as an ingredient anyway.
Also, will yeast consume DOC and make CO2 in a planted tank and thereby feed plants. All the research I read about yeast is fermentation reaction under anaerobic conditions to make beer or bread. What is the fate of yeast under aerobic condition in a planted tank.
So my question is whether it is safe and beneficial to feed yeast as a carbon source for plants and food for shrimp.
