How to feed cherry shrimps

[emptywallet]

how do you feed cherry shrimps zuccine? do you just slice it into a coin shape and rinse it off or do you slice it in a triangular long ways? I heard that seeds where bad for shrimp is that true?<BR>also i have 3 otos in the tank to that will be eating some of the zuccine

i know u people out their have some great advice...

[msjinkzd]

the seeds aren't BAD, they just don't typically get eaten so they float around the tank. I typically will cut a round and sink it with a chip clip. Whatever isn't gone in about 12 hours I remove. No parboiling, special treatment needed. Although I do remove the seeds.

i to remove the seeds and use something to wait them down.

okay so then just cut out the middle and put a plant weight on it...also yesterday i saw petsmart feeding oranges to their fish and yes they where oranges...what nutritional value do oranges have?

[pixl8r]

vitamin C ;)

Wouldn't oranges throw off the ph with them being acidic? What about the juice in them?

[SchizotypalVamp]

They're acidic because they contain citric acid. PH in water is the negative log of the H30+ in the water.

^Huh?

In a volume of water most of the molecules are H20. However, there is some concentration of H3O+ and OH-. Usually this concentration is very small, 10^(-#) (aka .00000000000000#). As you have probably learned in math, the log of 10 is one, and they decided to add on a negative sign or the PH would always be negative and suck to write. They take the log of the amount because it's a nice shorthand way to write it, among other things. Also some convenience in calculation. Don't know for sure.

The equation is

PH= - log[10^(whatever concentration of H30 ions)]

Oh okay. I only started atoms and molecules in science 2 weeks ago. (8th grade)

[emptywallet]

dang idk what we r learning in 8th grade science...we just took the oat (our advance tourter) (ohio acheivment test) lol

[SchizotypalVamp]

Well, you learn that in high school/college, you don't learn the math til algebra two I think, lol.
