    Do you think there's anything bad about feeding shrimp mango?

    Never thought of that, but sometimes i feed them some cooked yam or squash, besides cucumber, green peas and spinach.

    i only kept it in there for an hour, was afraid it would pollute the water. but the mango seed was covered in shrimps! It's was a hit! plus, for some odd reason, i have the thought it my head that if my yellows eat yellow mango, they will become super yellows.

    That is how supplier feeds them with neon yellow substances to make the yellow shrimps super bright yellow. By keep feeding yellow colored foods, they maintain their yellow. I notice from my tank.
