Evening all!
I've got a 23l tank full of Red Cherry shrimp (plus some snails that I'm slowly eradicating), and they seem to be doing really well at the moment, zero deaths, plenty of moulting, generally happy shrimp!
One thing that I was hoping to improve on though is their colouring - they're generally fairly pale. No doubt this is partly due to the fact that I never bothered getting graded shrimp, and they may well just be mediocre examples. That said, I know diet can play a big role in how they colour up, so I thought I'd ask for some feeding advice.
At present they get algae wafers as their staple, supplemented by the odd bit of blanched cucumber or pea. I know there are various (really expensive!) shrimp foods around, but I've no idea what is good and what is hype.
Any advice appreciated!
Cheers.
