I provide my shrimp with feeder guppies (Poecilia reticulata); Javanese - as distinct from Japanese - blue-eye "medakas" (Oryzias javanicus); ramshorn (Planorbis sp.), pond (Physa sp.), and freshwater nerite snails (Neritina sp.); scuds (Gammarus sp.); small crayfish (Procambarus spp.); and ghost shrimp (Palaemonetes paludosus) [the last two quarantined for several weeks prior to feeding].

Usually just ghost shrimp and fathead minnows, both going through the standard 4wk quarantine.
Occasionally I'll pick up some crickets for my ABF, and if my local LFSs happen to have any fish up for adoption (usually convicts), I'll feed them to my wolf fish after proper quarantine.
