Feeder Shrimp

[claire7275]

Ok here's the question. I want to get a Marine Beta for my 90. I have read that you may have to entice them to eat with feeder shrimp. Can I house the feeder shrimp in my 24 with a clown, a bicolor Blenny and a Coral banded shrimp? Or will the CB kill the little guys? No one sells them locally, so I need to buy some and hopefully hold them for the beta.
I guess another option would be to put them all in the 90. In there I have a Kole Tang, a small Flamehawk, a Coral Beauty, a Clown, a Lawnmower Blenny and a Scooter Blenny. Will any of these fish eat/kill the feeder shrimp?
I'm trying to plan ahead so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Claire

What about getting something like a hang-on hatchery?

are you talkin about ghost shrimp??

They are listed as "feeder" shrimp on this site. Is that different than a "ghost" shrimp? What other options do I have? Will the fish in the 24 eat them if I put them in that tank?
Please help!!

No, but they'll be real hard to catch.

Any of your fish will go after feeder shrimp. Live food is just too good to pass up.

I kept a dozen or so of these in bucket with a few gallons on tank water and they lasted at least a week Fed them a tiny bit of flake food. Almost any lfs should have ghost (FW) feeder shrimp and they will work just as well;just use them to get the fish eating.
