The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

Put in a little spirulina stone for the snails. Opae came to check it out.

Awesome gif mate! These shrimps are so awesome aren't they lol.

What is your technique to add spirulina to that rock? Looks like a lot to feed?

It looks more than it is because it is concentrated on a relatively small spot. Just take a stone make it wet put powder on it (if it does not soak through I use an atomizer to sprinkle some water on top as well). Let it dry. Et voilà you got a spirulina coated stone. It sticks to the surface pretty nicely.

Well maybe it's a little much this time

Got it. So you take out the rock to do this each time.

Sure. But I do it rarely. It's more of a treat.

Thanks buddy! I guess I will try macroalgae! I was thinking of trying to find some ditch-grass. But the nearest spot to get is in the north of Germany some 1000 ks away... It also may grow to large.

Spirulina gets eaten fast. Snails approve.
