What is the best method and food for feeding mushrooms?
I have tried target feeding my shrooms before but usually my shrimps come and steal the food away before I see the mushrooms physically eat them. Ive tried brine but not yet mysis.

If you have problems with things stealing food from your shrooms you need to either isolate the shrimp with food elsewhere first, or isolate the shroom with something like a strawberry basket. I like feeding my shrooms nutramar ova.

I have heard that putting a shotglass or something of that nature over them will help keep the shrimp away. The strawberry basket idea mentioned sounds like a good idea. As far as feeding, I give mine new life spectrum pellets that have had time to soak in vitachem or selcon.

It's better when I feed the shrimp in a far corner then feed the anemones a little extra. They get most of it themselves. But that means keeping my skimmer and GFO reactor running full speed. |
