 |  Quick question
I was just wondering how I would go about feeding my peppermint shrimp? Would a small piece of krill work if placed near his crevasse in the rock work? Or would I have to go get brine and put that into his house?

My fire shrimp came out and ate whatever I was feeding the fish. Doesn't the peppermint come out?
The krill should be fine, they also eat flake, mysis, cyclopeeze...whatever scraps they could catch  _________  I Love My Sig By John Hawkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well thanks for the responses once again. I read online that they would eat pretty much any scraps left in the tank, but wanted to see how you guys did it. | |
