feeding rock, aka wood, aka singapore shimp
a way that i found to be effective to feed my shoal of rock shrimp is to use brine shrimp cubes, the frozen ones. they are small enough to be filtered by these shrimp and are nutrient rich. the way i do it, cause i dont want to buy brine all of the time, is to mortar some flake and/ or blood worms (or whatever you want), add water (straight from your tank), put it in an ice tray and make "micro food" ice cubes. drop one of these in the tank and it will float around, slowly releasing it goodness for your shrimp to eat/filter.
my ratio is 10/1, water/ foodstuffs. and my mix is algae wafer, flake and freeze dried blood worm. adjust your mix according to consumption, of course.
also, this my first post. thank you aquariacentral.com and its members for having me.
good luck!
