[houndster]

Needed help.. sh not eating for 3 days liao.. tried frozen brime shrimp and golden pearl.

[chinmo]

which specis u keeping? like decentkid says, get the FW ghost shrimps, and chooses the tiniest ones to feed to the sh.

[zulu-lulu]

bro , try mysis might work .anyway Brimpshrimp not their natural food.best if u have tones of copepods.(nasi briyani for them) heheh.

[chinmo]

mysis does work , but must try to keep them suspened in the water column, this make the sh think that the mysis is "alive"

Daphnia (or Daphnids) are members of a collection of animals that are broadly termed as "water fleas". If you lived in kampong before, you will know. As kid, we used to catch this thiny animals to feed small fish. Daphnia can't surive in sea water for more than 1 min. so is not a gd idea to have this for food for SH and is too small for them too.

[LoReNsIa]

u mean wad the adult call boon.. hahax.. ya.. hahax.. i use to feed them to my beta fries..

[ong]

Yap....

[LoReNsIa]

ooooo so boon can feed onto sh meh.. so not nourishment. hahax..

[zulu-lulu]

ooppss , well what i mean mine is eating that too. but still mysis must be the main food , bro. sori for the confusion.

[houndster]

tried the mysis for 2 days liao.. still not eating leh.. now they turning white.. colour fade of slowly.. how huh??

[houndster]

ok thanks decentkid. will try that tomorrow...

[chinmo]

i tried this before, adult sh sure can eat one...... but spent more money get those planted tanks mini shrimps lor, the malayan or cherries shrimp, imo the shell is much softer than ghost shrimps.

[chinmo]

better to get the sh stronger rather than it get weaker from trying to eat shrimps that don't get snick in , in one shot. esp tigertail, very lazy fella.

[LoReNsIa]

who sae their stomach concave is gone case liaox.. hahax.. mine babouri stomach was concave.. yet i use FWS to feed it and now his stomach is big and nice.. hahax.. now only my tiger teil not eating only.. haiz..

[chinmo]

Ya... Now ex liao... every sh is like gems... lol...

[ong]

ooooo so boon can feed onto sh meh.. so not nourishment. hahax..

US keeper try on SH fies but not a gd method loh. As you said, not nourishment, moreover, as 'boon' can't live long in SW, it will dirty the water n made more problem....

[LoReNsIa]
