What do you add to your shrimp tanks?

HI all, there are so many products that can be added to shrimp tanks in terms of additives, minerals, foods etc etc etc that it can be a bit of a maze.
Just wondered what you good people put in yours?
I have a 60 litre tank with red cherries (yellow actually, but you know what I mean!).
One day I will put Bacter AE in there, then the next day I put in Biozyme (apparently you shouldn't mix the two at the same time).
I don't add much food but when I do I add a tiny bit of fish food, biomax food or Glasgarten Snowflakes. I also have some shrimp king protein. The shrimp seem to eat the biomax, fish food and a bit of snowflake but they seem to ignore the protein. Anyone else have any main preferences for feeding their little friends?

For my cherries, I don't add much. I add in Replenish after water changes since my GH is very low. Once or twice weekly, I add in food, and I alternate between fish flakes, shrimp pellets (like the kind I feed to my cories), green bean, cucumber, zucchini, and sweet potato. I have live plants and moss in their tank, and they feed off the microorganisms the rest of the week. The tank is cycled, so I don't add any bacterial additives.

 

My aquascaping leaves something to be desired

HI TexasDomer, I wish my GH was low, around my part of UK it's incredibly high! How do your cherries do with the vegetables? I've tried boiled spinach a few times and they don't seem interested. My ghost and amano shrimp in other tank absolutely love it though!

They love sweet potato and zucchini, but they're not crazy about the cucumbers or green beans.

 

I'll have to give those a go, thank you!

How do you cook the zucchini? I bought some for my mystery snail babies and amino shrimp

I just put it in a glass of water and microwave it for a minute or two until it's soft.

 

Cool thanks!

 

No RCS yet, but my ghost shrimp adore freeze dried blood worms. They will quite literally swim up to the top of the tank and do whatever gymnastics they need to in order to get one and head back down to eat it. They don't seem to pay much attention to snail jello.

 

Haha yes I have noticed the same behaviour must be something unappetizing about snail jello egg patch thingies because none of my fish or shrimp seem to bother with it.
