I bought some Freeze dried shrimp but when I tried to feed my fish the chunks dissolved and made my water all cloudy. I read the container, and there was no information on feeding!

I use frozen brine shrimp and this happens slightly to me, It does clear and settle quickly however.
- I shouldn't worry about it too much.

I don't know about freeze dried shrimp (you sure it's not just frozen?) I use freeze dried bloodworm sometimes and can't say I've noticed this problem...

(I defrost my frozen srimp in a small shot glass for a few minutes before putting it in the tank, just leave it to defrost)

I feed freeze dried shrimp.. It never happens to me.. is it the "mini krill" or the regular big Krill-Shrimp thing?

GouramiGuy

I have know idea about the mini/ krill shrimp thing ,but the pellets are like an inch wide.

Alessa

Ohhh... pellets. I thought you were talking about the whole freeze dried krill.

A lot of members have reported their water goes cloudy when using them. Maybe if you found a substitute or another brand?

GouramiGuy

why do I do stupid things before I ask everyone?

Peterpiper

Try rinsing them before feeding them out. I use a tea strainer, drop the cube in, and run it under the tap and feed

Alessa

I'd rinse them with tank water, not tap... other than that would be finding a substitute.

or you could just use frozen shrimp blocks, no mess, fresher food - your fish will prefer them.
