fairy shrimp

Post by flip on Thu Feb 25, 2010 5:51 pm

would fairy shrimp be a good treat for betta's? i know bbs are good for the fry but am wondering if the fairy shrimp would be good for the boys i have. if they are, would it be best to give them to them as babies or grow them up a bit first?

Hi
Fairy shrimp belong to the same family of Branchiopods as Brineshrimp, so I would assume they would be fine for your betta Very Happy
