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?

As long as the other fish aren't too small or too aggressive. Most normal-sized fish in tanks aren't big enough to eat a large triops, but triops will eat other small fish. My second pack of triops said that they will eat smaller triops. And by small fish, I mean like neon tetra size. Adult triops can get a couple inches-- as long as the other fish in your tank are around one inch or more, you should be fine.Also, never add crawfish to any tank. I had a friend that had a crawfish, it ate both of his angel fish and escaped the tank.

I would get flakes or small pellets for little goldfish - my fish are pretty big! 6,7 8 inches long!

I have a colony of Cherry Shrimp in this tank and they are thriving!!!! Perfect tank for them.

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.

Sounds like problems with the water conditions. Your tank should be cycled and "aged" before introducing new shrimp. Even though red cherry shrimp are known for their hardiness, they still need good water conditions.

That depends on what type of fish you'll be using. Straight up brine shrimp is something I used for mbuna and peacock cichlids as a protein treat. I mainly used them for fry though. I feed my adult africans the frozen cubes of spirulina and brine shrimp by hikari about once per week with a pelleted food as a staple.

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 :)

Marty, What I did was break the flake food into smaller pieces before I loaded it into the feeder and it seemed dispense alot better. I set the feeder up on a table and clamped it to a piece of wood. I put a dish under it to catch the food and used the instant feed button over and over to see how much food was being delivered. Each time it rotated the amount of food varied somewhat, so I took an average and chose a setting that I liked the best. I have 2 of these feeders and have been using them for just over 2 months now, and I'm very happy with them. I have been gone on 3 occasions for up to 10 days and on each of my returns, all of my fish were alive and doing well. Hope this helps.

I've never used them in freshwater, but I'm sure they would would an anything that eats shrimp/crawfish.

Freshwater fish have never seen a saltwater shrimp and are not accustomed to eating them. These are nothing like freshwater shrimp. There are much better baits for freshwater and I would not use these.

My fish were able to eat them with no problem. If you think they may be to large you can put a few days worth in a zip lock bag and it them with a gamer to make them smaller. I hope this helps. My smallest is about 6 inches and my largest are a little larger then 2 feet.

I'm not sure. The package says salt water. Maybe you should look for the Gulp that is good for fresh water. I don't know if the fish know the difference.

No! They eat fish waste, food and algae. I have them in 3 tanks including my goldfish tank that has low light.

No, as an aquarist and Biologist they will NOT fair well at all. This species is a fresh water inhabitant only

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

Hmm maybe? I think the portions would be too big for a fish and if its flake good, it would probably get messy and stuck.
