Spinach as Shrimp Food

I have been growing spinach in my garden for the entire winter here in Central Florida and now that I am about tired of eating it I have started to feed it to my shrimp. I just blanch it and throw it in the aquariums and the shrimp LOVE it!

The good news is the spinach is also VERY good for the shrimp! It has a lot of vitamins and minerals that are easily taken up by the shrimp, including calcium!

Are you feeding your shrimp anything fresh from the garden?

    I have been asked a few questions about what blanching vegetables means. Well, it is pretty simple. Just boil the vegetable until it is soft!
