|  African dwarf frog and ghost shrimp i have 2 african dwarf frogs in my 10 gal tank and i have decided that feeding them is too much work (the fish eat it, tangles in the plants) and so i am going to give them their very own tank (a currently out of use 5.5 gal) and i was wondering if they would try to eat ghost shrimp if i put som in with them? N E comments will be greatly appriciated

| No. Ghostshrimp won't be a food source. Very occasionally a frog will eat a young, tiny shrimp. But using shrimp as the food supply will not work. Feeding the frogs is just one of the tasks that you undertake when you get them; they're notoriously difficult to feed.

| Haha okay. I can see how your first post could have been taken differently. Sorry for the mix up. Well, as you can see, no they won't get eaten. Perhaps some smaller baby shrimps may, but the adults should be alright.

| Have you tried feeding them with tongs/tweezers? I feed mine using a pair of long plastic tongs, and it works pretty well. Even with such control over where their food goes, I still have to separate their betta tankmate as he is too fat and will consume every last bloodworm that he finds.

| My ghost shrimp ate everything they could find. They ate flakes, pellets, alge from the sides, fish poop, everything, feeding them is not a problem.
