Baby Spinach are shrimp's best friend

Interested to know how you place it in the ice cube?

As for doing it layer and layer can be quite challenging when trying to remove as i believe will be stick together.

Can keep for a few months.

What I normally do with the leftover is...I eat them..haha

Bought spinach yesterday, boiled a leaf for a few minutes, washed with tap water and put into tank full of cherries...

They do like spinach....

Spinach are a shrimps best friends the moment I saw my shrimps swamp the spinach, I knew I had to share it to everyone.

I bet cold storage are getting their spinach wiped out now..

Not necessary leh... I do use spinach sometimes, and they take awhile to finish it. But when I use other food, they are like the animals they are... wack!

Think also depend on how hungry they are...

yeap, also depending if you have been feeding them Protein food regularly.. because I only feed protein food once a week, other 2 times are veggies and algae wafers.

But the best is still excel..see them wack..

Need to ensure that the boiled spinach is well-drained before freezing them. It is quite easy to take out each layer when the leaves are not too wet. I use chopsticks to pick the leaves and place them nicely.

Bro is it possible to use boil water and soak the spinach in a cup or bowl?
Sorry my question seems a bit stupid, just to see any easy way out.
Thanks.

I tried soaking the spinach in a cup with hot water. The shrimps didn't take the spinach on the first few hours. Seems that it was not blanched enough. However after about 6hours, it became a different story all together
