Thanks for admission to this group.

been keeping Marmokrebs a few years , self cloners . ( I know , not shrimp ) , But ,

just got into aquarium shrimp so , Im in the right place now , again , Thanks .

i picked up some tiny shrimp from my local fish store , not sure of their type ,

they were different colors , orange , red , blue , red and clear , orange and clear ,

black , light blue . they were from their breeder tanks that did not come out quite the right colors .

call them culls , either way i ended up with a bunch of different color shrimp . 

trying to ease into shrimp first , so this works , for now . I have them in a 5 gallon with sponge 

filter and small plants and cholla wood , they love it btw . here in is my question .

im feeding " Hikari " Crab Cuisine , suggested by the 18 yr old shrimp expert , not saying 

that age is , well , nuff of that . i only put about 3 or 4 pieces , really small pellets .

it sits on the bottom , in the open so i can see them feed , they dont , about a day later it is 

covered in some kind of white clear substance , im really not sure whats going on.

am i using the wrong food , water issues , temp issues . water is 70 degrees ,

water has been tested , perfect , with a little extra lead , hence the plants .

been a long rant , hey . any and all help appreciated .

Thanks Brian
