What to feed my Fire Shrimp?

[brent340]

I just put two fire shrimp into my tank and it seems like there having problems getting food, Flake food moves to quick in the
tank for them to chatch because of the power head and water
filters and other foods that drop to the bottem has to fall right
in front of them or they will not see it and the worms eat it. If
someone could help me with this?.

Thanks, Brent.

My fire shrimp never ate any sort of flake food. Basicly, they are scavengers, usually eating left over fish food. Silver sides, Brine, Blood worms, Squid, Krill, Shrimp, Lance fish, etc. They love this stuff and will go crazy over it.

Shrimp are pretty much general-purpose scavengers. They are likely getting more flake and missed food than you initially realize. If you want to feed them directly, pick up a pack of long, wooden skewers from Walmart or Target. With time, you can "train" shrimp to take little pieces of meaty foods directly from the stick. (Use krill, scallop, whatever - they aren't picky!).
