Mysis Shrimp Substitute! Emergency!

[SirRoadwolf]

Hey there!

I need some quick suggestions. Been working a could double shifts in a row at work, and ran out of fish food at home. The fish stores are closed. I need some ideas on what to feed my fish which usually eat Mysis Shrimp.

Would a Fish Fillet from McDonalds me okay if I took the breading off and flaked it? What about a can of tuna if I find a store open with Tuna? Also has anyone tried shredded cheese? I know my peppermint shrimp liked cheese.

Serious questions here....

Maybe a chicken breast uncooked and cut small?

Can't you just skip one day? It won't harm them. Probably better then giving them stuff with preservatives and seasoning.

if the grocery store is open, you can get raw table shrimp there and dice that small.

This would be day 2 without food :(

+1 on raw table shrimp my fish love it

Again, that is no big deal. Some people feed clowns and such every 3 days although I like to feed fish every day... seems more natural. Two days won't matter.


if the grocery store is open, you can get raw table shrimp there and dice that small which would be a good substitute. Don't buy the cooked stuff. Walmart might have it too.

I've got to admit this one made me laugh.

On a serious note, I had a fish go 21 days without eating. Another went 14. Not a crisis for just a couple.

If you regularly feed your fish, they’re going to be fine for a few days (probably even longer). The Fillet ‘o Fish was good for a chuckle...

I also noticed my spelling was horrible. I was rushing to type that before leaving work. lol

In all seriousness, my peppermint shrimp did LOVE cheddar cheese. >.>
