Quick question, we have been feeding out african side neck crickets and feeder fish, and let me tell ya, he is a happy little guy. But reason for my question is, how do you feed him frozen brine shrimp?

It should give directions on the packet i think, but you need to thaw them out in warm water first. and then i guess you'd pour some in? i'm not really sure. at work when we feed those to the fish though, we mix it with some water from the tank and use a turkey baster to feed it

i think freeze dried brine shrimp may be easier though

I'll try some tomorrow and let everyone know how it goes. The package looks like small little ice cube tray so I wasn't sure.

I just pop it out and Tucker eats it. Perhaps I should thaw it out first, I don't know. It doesn't seem to bother him. =)

well, we tried it two ways. First, my wife just dropped it in frozen, and of course since the water is so warm, it defrosts fairly quickly, but wilbur still chomped on some. Second, my wife used very long tweezers and feed him, and of course little guy just wolfed it down, and then tried to get in between the rocks to pick some out Razz

so thought I would let you know how the shrimp feeding went.
