Appreciate your insight. Also though the grass shrimp and amphipods serve double duty as they aren't just food they are part of my tank maintainence crew. I try really hard to get a whole system going from a healthy sand bed to Copepods to amiphipods macro algae and such. So the grass shrimp are just in the tank. Even if the horses don't eat them they eat detris. I just prefer to have clean up crew that can also serve as food.
I love your shrimp feeder but too lazy to hook that up everyday. So I feed frozen but try to provide grazing for variety and entertainment. Vacation is the only time I try mostly live food. I also order from aquarium depot so if needed I can do a couple thousand amphipods prior to vacation. I prefer to culture to cut down on contaminants. I can also trade amphipods in at the local fish store for other things ��
