Hi everyone, may I know if I can feed this shrimp feed to my opae ula shrimps? I know some people use spirulina using toothpick drip, but is it possible to compress them into mini ball form? :)

Once my tanks have been set up I stop feeding unless the population in the tank is too high. Initially I feed 2x a week for 12 weeks and then stop. I stay away from protein based animal ingredients since I'm not running any filtration.

This one floats and gives the shrimp plenty of time to eat it.I totally opposite, I feed my opae ula all kinds of shrimp food that I can get hold of(powder form,pellets, wafer, mulberry leaf etc) as long as they able to finish it within a days(except mulberry leaf, this no Ill effects as long as give portion that suit the tank size and not to bottle/jar enclosures) , it will be fine.
I have fed from time to time Hikari Algae wafers though not often.
I do breed various FW Neocaridina & Caridina shrimp. I don't feed the opae any of these foods.
