I want to  have everything ready  for when i buy the shrimp so the question is what food are people feeding their shrimp?
 
I also want to give them some variety
 
Any info will be greatly appreciated

I have some veggie sticks that I prefer, you can break small pieces easier then off of wafers, and they are packed with spirulina, which the shrimp LOVE

Also you can get powdered spirulina and add a little bit of egg to it, and make little wafers of it to let air dry, to give to them as a side treat.  The pure spirulina will make their color beautiful.

in anticipation of my shrimp arrival I have ordered this http/www.brineshrimpdirect.com/BSD-Freshwater-Slow-Sinking-Pellets-1MM-c229.html and I'm hoping it's as good as they say!

Mine also get Hikari shrimp cuisine http/www.hikari.uk.com/index.php/products/tropical/shrimp-cuisine/ recommended to me by someone who is seriously into planted tanks and shrimps.

Mine get hikari shrimp cuisine twice a week, the rest of the time they feed on whatever the fish don't eat & insuforia on the plants & wood etc

My tank will be Shrimp only so the Hikari food looks a good bet

I buy some Tetra wafers especially for crustaceans.  I can't see them online to give you a link and had never seen these particulars ones before until I recently came upon them in the shop.  But never seen my shrimp and snail go mad for anything like they do for these!
