I have issues like this because I have more than one and some of them like to steal (like snatch it from the others) and hog the brine shrimp (very good at catching the rest themselves) T__T

Keep in mind, brine shrimp are mostly water, with little to no nutrition.

There are snails in the tank they've been feeding on but I am looking for long term supplements to their diet! Struggling to find any local providers for food they can eat right now, since they're a bit too small for the crickets sold at the place I got them. Looking for baby crickets/pinhead crickets. I made a post about this separately though in Freshwater Puffers :3
