Default Feed Shrimp?

"KurtG" wrote in message ...
I dropped by my LFS. I was asking for life brine shrimp, but they
pointed me at a tank of live small shrimp at USD $0.29/piece.

It could make life interesting for the fish, and I don't see any harm in
adding them to the tank.

Any thoughts?


Beside general concerns with feeding with wild captured food items
I do not see anything wrong with feeding fish with them.

I would even keep a dozen of these in a refugium and treat them
as my plankton producers.

Brine shrimps, especialy not adults but just hatched ones, are
not food in a size range adult fish should eat - unless we are
talking about small fish like royal gramma :-)
