Whether the black shell shrimp needs to be fed depends mainly on the environment and purpose of its cultivation. If it is bred for viewing and reproduction, it must be fed. This allows them to grow better, reproduce faster and explode. But if it is only for algae removal, and there are a lot of algae in the tank, then they can not be fed, let them eat algae in the tank, in order to achieve the purpose of algae removal.
If you want to feed the black shell shrimp, you can feed it every 3-4 days. They have a strong ability to survive and can eat zooplankton and algae in the tank, so they will not die without feeding for several days. When feeding, we should pay attention to controlling the amount of feeding. Do not put a large amount of feed into the water tank at one time, otherwise the endless feed will remain in the water, causing water quality changes.
To feed black shell shrimp, can be cooked spinach. Tear them up and throw them into the water tank, and the black shell shrimp will eat them. In addition, they can also be fed with artificial shrimp food. They can also eat turtle food or fish food, but it is not recommended to feed turtle food or fish food for a long time, it is better to feed shrimp food, which is better for their growth. They can also eat animal feed, so they can occasionally feed some clean dried red worms or tubifics.
