you can get them at Colourful. use those tea bag to contain the barley pellets and zip tie the opening. hang or drop the teabag in the tank will do. shrimps will be attracted to the teabag.

wah like that don't tell me always need to keep changing food with all the brand???
1) can go broke
2) is it advisable to keep changing
3) checking other brand mostly the content about the same (like benibachi and ebi-ten etc).

For mine now they still jump on the excel food finish in like 2 to 3 hrs. But the speciality food comfort can go overnight they big chunk even the shrimplet also the same

my crs are very choosing about food too.... have not tried the barley straws though...

my crs are also dying on and off and i dunno why. seems like the adults dying but babies are ok.... hopefully they died of old age or poor genes.

i bought the initial batch from a single place so maybe cross breed and the genes quality gets worse...
