Feeding shrimp pellets

[Caper]

Can all fish eat these?

How much to feed?

How often?

Thanks,

My bottom dwellers, Sharks, loaches and bristlenoses like them. My angels will have a go at them too and I think my danios try to eat them.

So most fish will atleast try to eat it but ones that aren't bottom dwellers won't get a good meal out of it.

I usually feed 1 per bottom dweller, but I feed a range of sinking tablets to vary the diet (ones with spirulina and pink ones)

I feed in the mornings and at night , shrimp pellets each time.

Hope that helped

My africans love them Takes them a while to break the pellets up and they don't seem to eat the smaller bits until they get water logged but they like them Obviously feed them in moderation to africans because of bloat.. But I haven't had any problems..

Go easy with feeding them at first. If you put in too many and they dont get eaten they tend to break up and the mush gets lost in the gravel. Rotting food in gravel = a bad thing.

So just put a couple in to start with and watch what eats them and how fast. If the fish mob them and clean them up in a few minutes then it's OK to feed more next time.

My plecos like them and the guppies, but they will try and eat anything. :roll:

Of course trying to feed specific foods to different fish is sometimes pointless. I just fed one tank with dried tubifex for the guppys, a spirulina tablet for the pleco and shrimp pellets for the loachs.

I look over there now, the guppys are at the bottom eating the shrimp pellets, the loaches are eating the spirulina tab and the pleco is chasing the lump of floating worms around the surface :-?
