RCS feeding help

[ShadowBeast]

I don't think there's enough Algae for my shrimp.
So if the tank doesn't have enough algae to feed the red cheery shrimp and Otto catfish how often should i put in some food for them?

Those algae wafers are good, also cucumbers are a feast for them.

Depends on how many shrimp you have.

I would feed them every other day for starters...
If the food dissappears quickly, maybe then you can feed them more often.

I feed them an algae wafer and they shredded that alot quicker then usual so I'll feed them alittle of the crab & lobser bites today and try to feed the otto's since they seem to be looking for food right now.
thanks.

I think if you put like one or two in every day/other day you should be good.

A chunk of raw zucchini weighted down with a fork will last a day or more, otos & shrimp love it!

in the tank for a day or more,,, ooooohh i can smell it from here,,,,
I suppose it does depend on what you actually heat ur tank too, but after 24 hours mine reeks.... pellet, wafers.. etc etc...lots to feed em, they love flake too

Raw, 1/2" thick slice? Really? I did try blanched 1/8" zuke once - pewww!
