Zebrafish eat cherry shrimp. They are omnivorous fish. Although they are gentle in character, they also prey on smaller creatures when they are hungry. Moreover, the cherry shrimp in its infancy is relatively small, so zebrafish can easily eat cherry shrimp. In addition, when adult cherry shrimp molts its shell, it will also exude a taste that attracts zebrafish, and zebrafish will follow the taste and eat the freshly molted cherry shrimp. When raising zebrafish at ordinary times, if they have enough food, they will not eat cherry shrimp. However, when culturing artificially, try not to keep cherry shrimp and zebrafish together.
2. What other foods do zebrafish eat1. Animal feed: Zebrafish are omnivorous fish, but they prefer red worms, water earthworms, yellow mealworms, bread worms and other foods. These foods contain more protein and fat, which can meet most nutritional creams needed for their daily development. When reared in captivity, these foods can be used as the staple food of juvenile zebrafish.
2. Plant feed: Although zebrafish don't like plant feed, they eat it when they are hungry. When they are raised artificially, they can be fed a small amount. Plant feeds suitable for zebrafish include algae, aquatic plants, tender leaves of vegetables, fruits and so on.
3. Synthetic feed: Breeders can also choose some synthetic feed to feed zebrafish, because their nutrient demand will decrease in adulthood. Synthetic feed can not only meet their daily needs, but also do not cause more pollution to water quality.
