I have never heard about automatic feeders but at my petco and Walmart they sell this big chunk of fish food that you plop in a tank and it should last fish about a week they just come up and bite it when they are hungry.
They eat the left over fish food. Shrimp aren't very picky. You can actually see them eating fish flakes that land on the floor. If you want to make natural food for them you could leave the tank on for a while and algae will slowly grow.
That's what they like to do [emoji4]. Since they are new they will be very shy and scared but over time they will become more comfortable . When I bought mine they stayed hidden and me just passing by the tank would scare them, and they would stick tightly together no matter what. Now after a...

I am thinking about starting a neon only tank, how many can I have in the 10 gallon? I may add some shrimp in there but that's it. I am gonna cycle the tank for at least 3 weeks before adding the fish in.
I have a goldfish that I've had for around 2 years now and he's grown a fair amount and I see that she keeps growing and I don't know what to do, I want to give her a better home before she gets too big but no one can take her. Any suggestions on what to do?
