The green crystal shrimp has a mixed diet, and there are many foods that can be eaten. They can eat animal feed, such as red worms, shrimp and so on, but also plant feed, such as spinach, algae and so on. In addition, they can eat artificial shrimp food. When breeding, artificial shrimp and spinach can be fed. It's good for their hair color. Occasionally, some live bait can be fed to increase nutrition, but it must be disinfected before feeding, so as not to carry pathogens in live bait, leading to shrimp illness.
The green crystal shrimp is usually fed once every 1-2 days. Every time you feed, you can't feed too much, otherwise the remaining feed will stay in the water, resulting in water deterioration. In addition, if the young shrimp are cultured, the frequency of feeding can be increased appropriately, once a day. This can provide them with more nutrients and make them grow faster.
Green crystal shrimp have the ability to eat algae, but they prefer to eat shrimp food than algae. Shrimp food contains more nutrients, which is more beneficial to their growth, so it is more recommended to feed shrimp food when breeding. If you want to remove algae, it is recommended to choose black shell shrimp. This kind of shrimp has a stronger ability to remove algae, and it only takes a few days to eat a lot of algae, so the effect of removing algae is better.
