I am wondering if it is beneficial to feed daphnia to dwarf shrimp. From what I read, no shrimp keeper feed daphnia to dwarf shrimp citing that dwarf shrimp don’t prey on live food. Is it true?
I have added daphnia to my planted shrimp bowl a few times to clear up green water. It works but once the green water is cleared, the daphnia will gradually disappear in a few days. I have never seen any shrimp grab and eat daphnia, but I do find the shrimp busy as if they are filter feeding. So why are the daphnia disappearing. Are the daphnia dying off from starvation, or eaten alive or dead by shrimp that I don’t witness.
