Black Widow BTA and Feeding

[tdowning]

Good evening all, a couple weeks back I got my first Nem...a beautiful black widow. Anyway, today I was at the store and I bought 1 raw shrimp. Thinking about cutting it into smaller pieces, freezing the pieces I don't use and then giving my BTA a small piece once per week...does this sound like a great idea, or am I missing something?

sounds like a good idea, also feeding isn't mandatory.

It's not mandatory, they're mostly photosynthetic. However, they will benefit from an occasional meal. I feed mine bay scallops once a week.

I have always fed mine once every 2-3 weeks.

I use Atlantic salmon cut into smal 1/4” chunks, soaked overnight in selcon, then frozen.

nothing wrong with that plan at all.
