Can I nurture these kid shrimp to my fish? *Pics*?
These came with the last aquarium I bought, and I don't know what to do beside them. Can I feed them to my 2 telescope eyed fancy goldfish, and my female midas cichlid? (they are in separate tanks)
This is what they look similar to:

they are great food. my roommates cichlid loves shrimp. don't consent to the shrimp stay uneaten in your tank for more than 12 hours as it may start to spoil.
Yes, your fish will love these but they should only be given as a treat 1 to 2 times per week. Their prevalent diet should be flakes or pellets. If the shrimp are too big for your fish you can easily break them into smaller pieces to make them easier for your fish to chomp through. I give these same shrimp to my fish. My goldfish eats them whole but I own to crush them up for my smaller fish. They all eat them up like crazy!
yeah they should be able to put away them. and would probably like it as a treat
They can eat them. The goldfish one more of an herbivore may not eat them, but the cichlid probably will enjoy them as treat!
Answers: They will be a fine food for your goldfish, if they will eat them (try feeding them a few shrimp and keep watch on what they do). I'm pretty sure your Midas cichlid will eat them, and it will also be a good food for her. Also nurture your fish other foods, though. It's not good to feed any one food exclusively.
