Feeder Shrimp

Kelz88

Got Reef?
My lionfish has eaten my peppermint and cleaner shrimp and has since decided he will only eat live.

I have ordered some feeder shrimp, but i heard that they can be unhealthy. Is there anything i can do, or feed to the feeders to make them more healthy?

Thanks,
Kelz
 
Update:

I called the store for some advice and they basically told me to harass him with food, which after about 15 minutes, and a few attempted stings, finally worked. Still going to get the feeders, but now i will be able to relax lol.
 
While not the best option,you can feed the ghost shrimp a diet of Mysis, algae sheets,and other stuff formulated for marine fish and invertebrates. That will basically gut load em so your lion gets at least some of the nutrition he needs.
 
I'll bet they are.:D
Our feeder shrimp are just ghost shrimp. I just added 20 or so of em with 1/4 of em carrying eggs to my planted tank last night.Hoping they'll produce and continue to produce to feed my Discus.
