Question Shrimp for food?

I have a spare 5 gallon tank that I may be using to house a ghost shrimp, in the event that they do breed is it possible I could feed them to my baby leopard?



Thanks, Parker

I'm kinda doubting that shrimp would be part of a typical diet of a desert dwelling animal native to Afghanistan and Pakistan. I think I'd consider an alternate food source.

Ya thats why I was asking I've heard of feeder fish being used but I think some people said they were linked to kidney problems.

I'd be surprised if they didn't breed. Find somebody with a puffer, they'll gladly take them off your hands.

Funny you should say that, based on my research in the past hour I have now decided to get a dwarf puffer

Dwarf puffers are the cutest little things. I come from aquariums and I have one in a 15 gal. :P

I've been planning on getting figure 8 puffers. I'm not sure about the dentistry requirements of dwarf puffers, but you might want to check up on that. Good luck.
