    I was just wondering how I would go about feeding my peppermint shrimp? Would a small piece of krill work if placed near his crevasse in the rock work? Or would I have to go get brine and put that into his house?

    My fire shrimp came out and ate whatever I was feeding the fish. Doesn't the peppermint come out?

    The krill should be fine, they also eat flake, mysis, cyclopeeze...whatever scraps they could catch ;D

    They are mostly nocturnal scavangers as pointed out above.

    Well thanks for the responses once again. I read online that they would eat pretty much any scraps left in the tank, but wanted to see how you guys did it.
