how do you feed the shrimp?

You don't! It's a closed ecosystem, like the earth. The shrimp will eat what the system provides (like algae that grows in it). I suppose if one shrimp dies, the other ones eat it since they are scavengers, but I haven't seen that yet. My son gave my husband one, so he has it at the office as a conversation piece. I thought it was cool and gave one to my niece for her dorm room. If I had one, I'd put it in my classroom. I teach math; I'll bet the science teachers would be jealous!

That's the beauty of an EcoSphere! You don't feed the shrimp. The shrimp feed off the algae that grows in the sphere.

You don't. They eat their young and feces before perishing 18 years before they're supposed to. However, apparently there is a way to "bust them out" so they can live a lot longer because they can be fed. I'm not sure how to do this but I do remember one reviewer that describes how to do it. Also, maybe Google it?

You don't feed them, natural sunlight causes algea growth, which the shrimp eat.

Use gloves that you can through away. My husband takes the bags out of the bucket and put them in places and the rats eat through the plastic covering. Make sure you put them where children, pets or anyone can get to them, even other animals. If you think you need to, call the company for their directions. I believe that is the best thing for you to do and anyone else that wants to use this products.

Your clown loaches say that guy is lying. Your clown loaches want you to know it would be a great idea to order a few hundred shrimp along with some loach sized bibs, dinner plates, underwater candles and maybe some bottles of wine that goes well with shell fish. The loaches also want you to know that it is not their fault if all the shrimp "ran away" when you were not looking, they just want to assure you the shrimp were not eaten.

Put rice, water and butter in white bowl, how ever many servings you are making. Add water to reservoir as well. Set timer!

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?

A feeder like the previous poster mentioned. They also come in metal. Buy the plastic jar mentioned on that page and fill it with food. It screws into the base. Same with the water (with the base for water). With the metal base I was able to use a mason jar- just fyi.

Feed them bran cereal and some potato slices for water. The after a couple days put them in the refrigerator. That's what the seller told me.

boil some water and drop them in. Let them coo; enough to be able to put them in your mouth.... then clamp down

According to the instruction book, you can use it to can fish & meat. I don't know about shrimp. I personally have never canned meat, it's just something I don't find appetizing.

Assuming they're 8-10" across prob could get 12 if your planning on adding potatoes and corn. I did 5lbs of 15-20 ct shrimp plus 3lbs small red potatoes and 15 ears of corn cut in half and 10 big sausages That fit with room for more. I was only 1/2 way full! But dungenous crabs are bulky not sure what else your adding but may want to cook corn separately if your adding them

Hey Casey, your name is interesting to me. My Nephews name is Casey, my Dads name was William , and my last name is Walker. Lol . Anyways I don,t believe you would have a problem with combing the to unless one of the shrimp wasn't' on his toesv, now I have both, but do not keep them in the same tank. I have an all shrimp tank with ghosts and cherry read shrimp. ☺️

the best is to grind them so they digest better then put them in a bowl and put water over them and drink up. I haven't noticed any problems from doing this and as said, they digest better and you get more nutrients this way.

Spring or Fall if it is too hot or too cold the shrimp die. Keep them inside where the temperature is controlled. They need light but artificial light works

There is small pockets at the base of the feet. Put 1 finger in each food and pull on the hands and let go. Works like a rubber band. Have you ever shot a rubber band? Hope that helps!!

I have found that shake and water afterwards works best. It makes the feed trickle into the dirt :)

I agree with Philip - way too small of a tank! Those Angel Fish and that pleco are going to get REALLY big. Move them up to a big tank and enjoy the shrimp in the 10 gallon alone or with a few small, peaceful fish.

Hello, The 10 shrimps only comes in a bag of water via USPS mail and picked up at your local post office when they arrived. You will need to buy a container for them to live in. There's other seller who sale the shrimps with EcoSphere.
