ghost shrimp vs feeder shrimp

AC2020x · 05/09/2011, 02:33 PM

Hey, I'm looking into getting a dwarf lion. Does this mean that I need to get ghost shrimp or is there any other type of shrimp worth looking into? For example they have feeder shrimp on live aquaria and they are a lot cheaper.

Ghost shrimp are pretty expensive and i'm gussing it is suggested to learn how and to breed them myself.

Does this sound like the best path to take for getting a dwarf lion? And then weaning him onto frozen foods?

Thanks,

imo ghost shrimp and feeder shrimp are the same. the only thing that makes them different is how they are manufactured.

feeder shrimp are breed for that purpose and ghost shrimp are for retail. IMO
