Shrimp eat meat and algae, including small fish, snails, spinach, aquatic plants, algae, shrimp special feed and so on. It is suggested that animal feed should be used as the staple food, and they can be fed at night, because river shrimps are usually active at night, and when the feed is insufficient, they will kill each other. In addition, in the process of feeding shrimp, it is necessary to change water frequently. Shrimp has high requirements on water quality, and at the same time, the feeding amount needs to be controlled well, so as not to pollute the whole water quality because shrimp can't finish eating.
Although the shrimp is petite, its food intake is amazing, and it is omnivorous. However, it is mainly vegetarian, supplemented by others, and ornamental shrimp is no exception. However, for the sake of shrimp's health and balanced development, the food it feeds should be comprehensive, such as feeding some meat.
Matters needing attention in shrimp culture
The most important thing to raise shrimp is to control the water temperature, which is different from the strong adaptability of fish. Shrimp requires a high temperature, usually around 25℃, and it will be affected if it is too high or too low. Generally, a heating rod can be used to control the temperature. When changing water, it is also necessary to ensure that the temperature of new water is the same as that of old water.
Shrimp not only requires water temperature, but also water quality should be controlled well. Filters can be installed in the tank, so that the water can be filtered, thus better maintaining the water quality. It should be noted that the power of filtration should not be too large, or a filter screen should be added to the suction port, otherwise too small shrimp may be sucked into it.
