HIkari crab cuisine. You can buy it at Dr Fosters and smith.
Most spirulina wafers are good as well.
well i have ghost shrimp and they'll eat just about anything i put in there. It was pretty funny to watch them try to eat an earthworm about double their size, and then the earthworm fought back haha.
but they love frozen bloomworms, flake food, shrimp pellets, algae, pretty much anything.
I've read that they are scavengers, but they'll swim right up to the surface and eat flake food off of the top, WHO KNEW?

Crayfish love all kinds of veggies and meat too. I've given mine peas, carrots, boiled chicken, all of which they munch on, greedily! Stay away from fatty meat though, and it's best if you lightly cook (blanch) the veggies to soften them up a bit.
My cherry farm gets daily frozen rotifers (Hikari) and powdered algae flakes, and thrice weekly piches of New Life Spectrum small fish formula.
I feed my Cherry Shrimp OMEGA Shrimp Pellets and Hikari Algae Waffers...they seem to be doing Great....just stay away from anything that contains copper sulfate
I feed my Cherry shrimp, Tigers, & rainbows
Spinach, dehydrated squash, spirulina, crab bites, algae wafers, flake food, frozed brine shrimp, cucumber, zuccinni, occasionally dome broccoli or peas.

Tundragirl,
What brand of crab bites do you use? The brand that I fed to my fiddler crabs (HBH Crab & Lobster bites, left over from when I had a crab tank) has copper sulfate so it's not good for shrimp.
My Red Claw (Macrobrachium some such) absolutely go crazy for the Hikari algae waffers. I have to make sure that a few chunks fall into each males territory. The females have to be quick to get some.
