I just purchased a couple of cleaner shrimp a few days ago, and being the first occupants of my tank (other than my BTA whom I feed every 3 days or so) that require regular feeding, I was wondering how often I should feed them?

I have been feeding them Brine shrimp which they go crazy for (hmmm, will that lead to mad shrimp disease :eek: :mrgreen: ).

Any suggestions on diet variety and frequency of feeding, until I get other tank mates is appreciated

Hey Scott, you're probably good feeding them twice a week. That's all mine get and they are MONSTERS.

For food, a high quality flake will probably balance out their diet just fine.

Thanks Albert

BTW, the two are doing awesome, pretty much inseperable, and one already molted yesterday.

They seem to take great pleasure in pestering the BTA (Play with fire ya gonna get burned!)
