Hey all!
I got some live brine shrimp today at one of our pet stores to feed to our bettas. FYI, if any of you have bettas, they LOVE the brine shrimp. Just don't feed too many lol. My betta is still searching the tank for any others still swimming...I fed him a couple over 2 hours ago!
Anyways, on to my question. I have WAY too many of these guys to just feed to my 3 bettas. I may freeze some to have for later...if so, could these be fed to the hermies? They seem to like the freeze dried brine shrimp. Would these be ok to feed raw or frozen?
Thanks in advance!
And I checked out the hermit crabs they had there...I think they had some E's in! So tempting...I've been wanting to get Banjo a friend...

Re: Random Question about food
Due to the possibility of shell disease, I would strongly suggest to at least microwave or steam them prior to offering them to the hermies. (any shell fish should be streamed or microwaved)

A couple years ago a crabbers hermies in Aus. as well as a few here in U.S. hermies had contacted shell disease.
