"My red cherry shrimp eat these things up! One block lasts about four days for 10ish shrimp, and the baby shrimp are able to enjoy it too. It sinks to the bottom right away, and I’ve had no issues with the water clouding. I’ve also chopped them in half/thirds if they’re not going to need a whol..."
"It sat on the bottom of the tank for a week before anything touched it. Once a week when I do a water change I don't put food in the tank. That was the only time I saw a shrimp on it and the panda cory and otocinclus nuzzle it."
