Since this is a rubber (plastic) I don't think I would feed them to your pet fish

these shrimp are plastic they're not real. if you feed these to fish they will probably die

WOW, years ago 20-30 I raised Oscars in Maryland, I would go crazy to catch one in Florida, any near Sarasota? Anyway, NO, you cannot feed the fake shrimp to any aquarium fish!! Oscars love goldfish or any other FRESHWATER small prey. They will just mess up fish flakes, unless the Oscars are small.Do you catch tiger Oscars?

Most likely not good tank mates, Comet goldfish get quite large, and Koi get even larger, unless they have many hiding places these little shrimp would probably become a meal. These shrimp are best kept with smaller tank mates, tetras (not buenos aires tetras) guppies, etc. or in a tank all by themselves

Lois, my fish wouldn't eat it. I thought it was a great price for the weight, but I was wrong. They don't like the round pellet - only the 'sticks'. Maybe you will have better luck. :o) p.s.... it doesn't all float either ;o(

it's pretty simple, esp. if you have a green-water culture to feed them. If you're not maintaining a large culture, you can also use a bottle of invert food for reef tanks from your local pet store. they are opportunistic filter feeders and will feed on nearly anything that's small enough, but if you're raising them as fish / fry food, what you feed them has a large effect on the nutrition they provide. read http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~davidr/discus/articles/daphnia.html for more info, and googleing daphnia culture techniques will also help. If you don't have much experience with them, you may be better off getting a live culture rather than eggs to start, as the eggs also have triops and fairy shrimp eggs mixed in, and if you don't recognize and remove he triops that hatch first, they will eat the daphnia as soon as they hatch. live cultures, food for them, etc. can be found at Florida Aqua farms, lfs cultures, and carolina scientific supply. I'd recommend florida aqua farms, and get some roti-rich food as well. If you want to maintain a culture long-term, also get a starter of nanochlopropsis algae and some algae-grow to provide a food source for the dapnia that can be supplemented with one of the marine invert foods like kent marine microvert for a hign nutritional profile. If you mainly want aa fry food, get dapnia pulex or moina, not daphnia magna - if you mainly want to feed adult fish, daphnia magna are great. http://florida-aqua-farms.com/product-category/store/live-cultures/ http://www.lfscultures.com/cultures.html http://www.amazon.com/Kent-Marine-MicroVert-8-ounce-Bottle/dp/B00027ZV6E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1364209494&sr=8-2&keywords=microvert

I like to keep an invertebrate in the tank, such as a snail or a shrimp. They are good at keeping the tank tidy and bettas don't mind animals who aren't fish.

Filter is so good, I wouldn't worry. Maybe 100 for future change to larger tank. Gold fish don't have stomachs, I've been told, so I have lots of nye grass and othet consumable plants. Thus I feed my gold fish about once a week. Huge, 30 gal tank, cheep filter , but secrete is lots of plants.

Instructions come with them...adhere to them closely. Mine took about ten days. I think because of the temperature. You need to know that the triops will hatch first. Try ro get them out using a pipette. They eat daphnia voraciously. They look like tiny shrimp/copepods and are much bigger; daphnia look like fleas. Actually they are only discernable because they move around.

I don't actually have the glo fish...I have a betta, and for awhile there was also a snail. While the snail did frequently come up to the top of the bowl, neither of them ever made a move to actually jump out :)

I just drop two whole cubes into my 65 gallon tank n it's gone in a few minutes. Sounds like you only have one fish in a small tank so you could probably crush it n give a small amount of one cube to your betta

I would say these fish would be great tank mates. As long as they are not aggressive or bottom dwellers. The Shrimp like to hang out on the bottom. I would suggest if you don't have many plants that you also purchase some of the java moss for them to hide in and play between. We love trying to find them in our tank as they hide underneath the moss.

I don't see why not if you are buying the smaller pellets and the fish are already big mouthed. For instance, these don't work well with guppies whose mouths are too small. The fish need to be able to grab the pellets. The pellets don't muddy the water so a tank should be fine. Is there room in your tank for the fish to jump at the pellets without hitting the top of the tank? The pellets will float on the water. They are designed for fish that have colors like Koi and large goldfish. Have you considered purchasing the flakes?

I don't think it will eat that. It'll close but it'll open back up again in a few minutes. If you feed it anything it's gotta be something that will struggle a little bit; that encourages the trap to stay closed. You can let it fend for itself, or get small ants or similar bugs and feed those to it.

the kit come with the tank, food and eggs, they are not separate item to buy. I have 6 fishes hatched, the only problem for me is hatch brine shrimp so I can feed to my fish.

I have one of these CPO crayfish in a tank with a Betta, 2 small fish, corrie catfish, 2 snails, and african dwarf frog. I have no real problems after 2 months. This Mexican crayfish is way too small to eat even my tiniest snail (about 1/2").

They won't fight with the other shrimp, but depending on the type of shrimp they may interbreed and you'd end up with wild type shrimp, which would defeat the purpose of having shrimp with special colors. Generally speaking, neocaridina shrimp cannot be housed with other neocaridina shrimp unless they are the same color variant. With regards to the betta question, it's really a tossup. My betta won't tolerate any shrimp in his tank, not even ghost shrimp. He harasses them and they spend all their time hiding. Some bettas do fine with shrimp, even cherries. Others do fine with ghost shrimp but not cherries.

Yes, they can, but I wouldn't through a bunch into the water. Just like living worms it will make the water a mess. I only feed what they will eat in a couple minutes. The rest I pull out. As far as I'm concerned they are so much easier than the live ones.

I doubt it, but I don't know what type of turtles you have. I'm certain my Red Eared Sliders would eat them as my RES try to eat everything in the tank (even the sand). Although, I've been able to keep alive with my RES some tinfoil barbs, and a pleco, but they were with the turtles as babies and are all large now. These crayfish are bite size to a turtle, and an expensive meal. I even have a food that includes dried shrimp in it that are about size of mini crayfish.
