Hey bro. Thanks. Could you share how you prepare the different kinds of leaves to feed your shrimps?

May I know sort of benefits your observed? Better colouration, more active, faster growth rate for shrimplets?

Iam feeding Mulberry leaves as they are a good source of calcium and vital minerals for shrimps and help in the moulting process.

Since mulberry leaves are such great food source for crs, I went and got myself a small mulberry plant. At least I can be sure is organic and safe for my shrimps.
