My DPs get live blackwormsn common pond snails, and rarely bloodworms (I am becoming, or have become, allergic - they will not be stocked in the future). Mine do not eat any shrimp. I have not tried other crustaceans - I do not wnt to give the DPs any hints.

Well, I didn't actually mean to feed them to mine. They took it upon themselves to eat my cleanup crew. :lol:

That is why I don't offer any custaceans to mine - their ignorance is my bliss... I need the cleaning crew.
