Types of plants/leaves I am feeding my crs

[SY123]

Hi all

Just to share the types of plants/leaves I am feeding crs. This a on-going process of giving my crs a mixed diet.

Leaves are boiled in hot water for a few minutes and then placed in ice cold water before feeding to crs.


Spinach.

Next up is mango leaves. Not all Crs will like it. The leaves are quite thick and takes a longer time to soften.

Those are alder cones which I bought from the states.

Is a food source for crs. Also it contain tannins and humic acids. Some hobbyists say it also fight fungal and bacterial infections.

Yup. You can purchase from eBay as well. One cone can last at least 4-5 mths. I read that some shrimp breeder use these cones to help in breeding.

Next up, growing another type of plant as another food source for my shrimps.

Anyone want to make a wild guess what plant is this going to be?

I guess they are soya bean. You very clever know how to use some big leaves wrap them up to hold the soil for nursery planting and no need buy those small black plastic bags.
