WHAT DO SHRIMPS EAT?

Shrimp, in general, require minerals and vitamins to maintain their metabolism, absorb nutrients from food, manufacture hormones and enzymes, construct body tissues, and stabilize their shell.

They can get those from any type of food in limited quantities, or by adding them as supplements to regular feeding.
