Feeding Ghost shrimp

[RyanBenson]

Ok, so I got my ghost shrimp on Thursday of last week and I've heard multiple things about feeding them, but tablets kept coming up more often than other feeding foods. What should I get to feed my ghost shrimp??

My ghosties eat everything you have for any other fish. Mine prefer betta bites to anything, but they like flakes and little pieces of any kind of bottom feeder wafer. They love blanched peas too. Hope that helps!

It does help! Thanks you! I have one more question if you don't mind! Would my other fish eat the betta bites before they reach the bottom??

Probably..... what other fish do you have?

Fish'll eat anything edible. Ghost Shrimp are known scavengers so they'll find left over food missed by the fish. However, if you want to ensure they're getting a little more than just scraps, drop in the food an hour after lights out.
Shrimp pretty much scavenge 24 / 7 so they'll munch while the fish sleep.
