Anyone got some good shrimp food recipes? I see some good ones for snails....
 
I use alot of the foods I make for snails for my shrimp too. Is there a particular species of shrimp you are trying to cook for?
 
my ghost shrimp go *crazy* over the jello. One doesn't even take time to use his grabbers, he just jams his whole "mouth" onto the block :P
 
what if jello isnt available. I feed them beef heart ( my flowerhorn gets the same in his tank), and fish. they seem to enjoy both. Wish there was something readymade like the jello available here. that would be convenient at the times when I am in a hurry or something.
 
I found a recipe which my cherry shrimp love.

1/2 small jar of baby carrotts
1/2 small jar of baby peas
1/2 small jar of any other baby food (I used chicken stew)
I added a bit (large pinch) of all of my fish foods ground to a powder (make sure none contain copper)
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp powdered garlic

You mix it all up. Spread waxed paper on a cookie sheet. Spread this mixture very thin on the waxed paper. Let it completely air dry. I don't freeze it afterwards.

My shrimp fight over this stuff. It's a good way to count how many shrimp you have because they'll all come out to feed.
 
Just wanted to add. I also added a bit of liquid calcium (Kent's) to the above (1 tsp).
