About a month ago I set up a shrimp tank, which includes two Bamboo shrimp. I'm looking to pick up some food for them to supplement their feeding; I read somewhere online in a care sheet that I should use food designed for filter feeding invertebrates. However, I've never had to purchase this before, so I'm not really sure what it is. Any help? Can it be picked up somewhere like Petsmart?

I have two vampire shrimp, which are bascially the same. Depending on how long your tank has been set up and running, the shrimp should be able to survive off the little micro organisms. I have a intank filter with a spray bar that give a good current which they perch themselves directly under it and eat all day.

That being said, I have seen them every now and again foraging the floor for food which seems to me that they are hungry. So I give them ground up fish flakes and some ground up blood worms.

Hope this helps!
