What Shrimp Food Do I Need

[Welshweeks]

Hi All,
 
I'm getting my 40L tank ready for shrimp only and would like your recommendations as which type of food to buy for them, is Hikari tropical shrimp cuisine any good?
 
I cracked today and bought 6 RCS from my LFS and they are in my 180L community tank. They seem fine so far with plenty of places to hide etc I've seen them popping up here and there.

My shrimp love the Hikari shrimp cuisine but feed very very sparingly as a treat, once a week is plenty.
I'm assuming your tank will be well planted & have moss in it as shrimp feed on the microorganisms & algae on the plants

With all the tetras in your community tank, unless you have a place for the shrimp to hide completely the tetras will munch them pretty quickly.

The rummy tetras have not shown any interest, so far.......

My Amano shrimp love mini catfish pellets!

Basically anything your fish eat the shrimp will eat too as well as cleaning your plants and picking over the substrate for other tidbits. Cherry shrimp are also vert partial to defrosted bloodworms and will happily chow down on them too.
