The tennis shrimp mainly feeds on plankton and algae in the water, and can also eat some small aquatic insects. When breeding, it can be fed with disinfected clean red worms or artificial shrimp food. Their appetite is not large, each feeding can not feed too much, otherwise they can not eat the excess feed will remain in the water, causing a certain negative impact on water quality.
When breeding tennis shrimp, you can generally feed once every 1-2 days. Because they can eat algae and plankton in the tank, they will not starve to death if they forget to feed occasionally. But if they are not fed for a long time, they may starve to death. In addition, when raising young shrimps, you can increase the frequency of feeding appropriately, which can help them grow faster.
Tennis shrimps don't eat food, probably because they have just arrived in a new environment and are still adapting to the environment. At this time, they will not immediately open their mouths to eat. After a few days, they adapt to the new environment and can eat their own food. In addition, they may not eat because the water temperature is too low or the water is too acidic. At this time, it is recommended to change the water and adjust the water temperature and quality slowly. When the water temperature and water quality get better, they can eat.
