1. What kind of food do shrimps need?

Shrimps are animals that are very adaptable to the environment. They can eat many different foods, including algae, zooplankton, benthic organisms, etc. Shrimps not only have low requirements on the type of food, but also do not have high requirements on food quality. Only when the environmental pollution is serious, they may ignore some food.

In fact, different shrimp species have different food needs. Some species of shrimp prefer to eat tiny krill and zooplankton because they can help the shrimp strengthen their immunity.

2. Vegetables are one of the common foods of shrimps

Shrimps often eat various aquatic plants in the wild, such as cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, cabbage, etc. But it should be noted that if it is not farmed shrimp but wild river shrimp, then the vegetables eaten by them are not suitable for human food.

Shrimp farmers can feed shrimps some food instead of vegetables, such as shrimps, fish meal, fish bait, etc., but they cannot be the main food and need to be fed in conjunction with other foods.

3. Regarding the raising of bran and miscellaneous grains

People who breed shrimps will sprinkle some bran and miscellaneous grains in the shrimp ponds. This kind of bait is fermented at the bottom of the shrimp pond, and by the time the shrimps eat it, it has become nutritious food with beneficial bacteria.

As for wild shrimps, because they have a good growth environment and a comprehensive diet, they can absorb nutrients from the environment at any time, so they do not have an obvious habit of eating bran and grains.

4. How to feed shrimps to make them healthier

If you like to farm shrimps, then you need to provide them with as natural food as possible. Lighting and use to protect benthic algae are very important. The choice of shrimp bait should be diverse. Fish, objects, or artificial shrimp bait can be used together.

In addition, I recommend feeding 2 times a day. Because shrimps have small and sensitive stomachs, if you feed them too much at one time, it may cause indigestion, which is more harmful than helpful.

Being kind to the food needs of shrimps will not only allow shrimps to grow healthier, but also enhance your confidence and love for shrimps. I wish you all can grow up with Xixiaxia***!
