Ghost Shrimp and Ivory Mystery Snail Feeding Help

So I have one ghost shrimp (used to have two but one died while I was on vacation and I'm pretty sure they were eaten) and one ivory mystery snail in a 5 gal. tank with 3 male guppies. I feed them one flake goldfish food, soaked so it sinks, as well as occasional feedings of lettuce and homemade fish food (ingredients: cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, canned salmon (no salt), red bell pepper and paprika) and unflavored unsweetened gelatin. I also feed them Tetrafin feeding blocks when I go on vacation, there is no copper or zinc anywhere, there is also no plaster of paris, it is formulated for omnivorous fish like my guppies. Is this a good diet for them? I also would like to start feeding blood worms to them but I only have freeze dried ones and I don't want to buy live or frozen ones so they float, any way to make them sink so my guppies don't eat them? As it is if I put any sort of blood worm in there my guppies eat them all before my shrimp and snail get any. (Also I feed my guppies goldfish food because I had a goldfish that passed away and I'm using up the rest of the flakes, goldfish and tropical flakes are pretty similar from what I have found. Goldfish flakes are a little more vegetarian though so I supplement my guppies diet with blood worms every few days in place of flakes, is this ok?) If it helps my guppies eat relatively the same diet as my shrimp and snail, so they will eat their food so I don't know how much food they're actually getting. Is there any way to keep my guppies away from the shrimp and snail food? They are in a 5 gal. tall tank with a breed of anubias, most likely anubias nana and an amazon sword plant. Thanks to everyone for their help in advance.

 

In my experience, you can’t really keep guppies from eating anything I tend to feed a bit more food than the guppies will eat so my inverts can get something. As for the bloodworms, my shrimp go crazy for frozen ones, but if that’s not an option I’d try soaking the freeze dried ones for a few minutes so they sink when you put them in the tank. Canned, unsalted green beans are also an option for feeding, just make sure to take out any leftovers after a few hours. My shrimp also love the Hikari sinking wafers I put in for my cories- they sink fast and my guppies haven’t managed to successfully eat them (they try their hardest lol). Hope this helps!

 

How long did you have the shrimp? They only live 1-2 years.

My inverts also liked:

Zucchini
Banana
Any quality fish food
Blueberry
Strawberry
Honeyberry
Melons
Cucumber
Squash
Garlic stick fish food
Algae

I only had him for about a month, he became white and I assumed he was molting. I went on vacation and he passed away while I was gone, there is no corpse so I assume he was eaten

Also would zucchini be ok for my inverts? I know it’s ok for guppies (or I’ve read that it is) but I’m not sure about my inverts

 

ghost shrimp are really over breed

mine only lived 4-6 weeks

Invest in some real shrimp imo. much easier and less worry

because they are seen as 'feeder shrimp' for live feedings etc, there's really no care about genetics or care before purchase.

they'll love it
