Cherry Shrimp

What flavor? I've only used the Complete Envy and the Lil' Stix. Both hold their structure until the snails find it.

I've kept cherry shrimp (yep thats what I call them too) for a few years but wont show you the tank. There is nothing to see!
Only a small 15G, no heater, no filter, very basic light that I probably remember to put on half the time and occasional water change. I deliberately haven't set this tank up as a show tank or anything. Literally sits right in the corner of the shed.

They basically look after themselves. Feed them basic stuff maybe twice a week. Still breeding but contained. I would love to do a nice scape with about a 15G rimless tank which focusses on plants and only my shrimp collection to add in.

Main thing is to leave them alone. Also wouldn't put them into a newly cycled tank until its had a chance to establish some biofilm for the shrimp to graze on.

Anybody who told me about Shrimp Envy @Koan , @ElleDee , @Kwyet , @gnatster , @Capraquaria I was feeding shrimp today that I was acclimating in a bucket. Do these pellets disintegrate? Either the shrimp ate them quickly or they fell apart. There was some black stuff in the bucket, but seemed too tiny and not enough to be the SE stick I put in. I broke it apart into 3 small bits.

For Shrimp Envy foods, I have fed the Complete, Shell Envy, and Growth formula pellets, and all have held their structure pretty well for a while in the tank (I use the feeding tube/glass dish in my tanks, so the food doesn't end up in the substrate as quickly). The only pellets I have put in that tend to disintegrate are the snowflake pellets. The shrimp like them, but they're messy...hence I keep snails in that tank, too for cleanup. If your pellets disappeared, your shrimpies were probably ravenous.
