Today we learned how to take care of my shrimp. My teacher gave us a booklet for how to take care of our shrimp. The shrimp are very easy to take care of. Also the booklet tells us about its life cycle from a egg to an adult. In the booklet it tells you about all the things we have to do in order to keep the shrimp in their normal habitat that the shrimp are comfortable in. To feed the shrimp we had to put a very small amount of food in because if we put to much the shrimp will eat as much as they can and leave the rest of the food that they don't want to eat. Then the food will sink to the bottom of the tank and spoil. Also id we don't feed it right the tank could grow mold or the food could grow mold in the bag of food or in the tank. If the shrimp ate the mold they would die. Mold is the number 1 thing that kills shrimp so we have to be very careful if we are feeding the shrimp. After our teacher told us about how to feed and make sure the habitat is okay he gave us the food for the shrimp and the toothpick that we could use but also we could use something different but, that is similar to a tooth pick. Sometimes we would have to clean the tank if grows to much algae then we could use a toothbrush to clean the sides. The food we use for the shrimp is called Spirulina. To make sure the food doesn't spoil you could put it in the refrigerator.
