From what I notice.,they like the type of food that they could grab on..you'll see
there tentacles will retract and put the food into their mouth...just my personal observation.

You could try turkey basting them with a concentrated but Id guess they will be to small.

I feed mine minced up shrimp...

Untamedrose What kind of shrimp ?

BoneXriffic · Jul 16, 2016

I use shrimp from the grocery store, cut peieces for them

frozen grocery store bagged shrimp......basically when I've feeding my family it...I set one or two aside before seasoning and cooking. Chop it up small(like 1/4 by 1/4 kinda size) and put it into a snack bag refreeze it nice and flat.
Then I break off what I need defrost with tank water and the other food for the fish.

But my BTA wasnt real big...maybe 3 inches across when split so now I have two really tiny ones.. Sure they will grow but thats all they can do atm.

Is the stuff toxic to a nem?

Ummm that doesnt look right. Usually sulfates are used on cooked shrimp to maintain that fresh pink look. Are you able to get fresh raw shrimp?
