Feeding cherry shrimp to saltwater fish.

[Jmas4]

This may sound like a weird question, but can you feed cherry shrimp to fish. Cherry shrimp are freshwater shrimp that breed very well in captivity. I have too many. Will feeding FRESHWATER shrimp be ok to feed for SALTWATER fish?

Perfectly fine.
I used to do it.

Piscene Energetics mysis is a freshwater shrimp (Mysis relicta), but the nutritional profile may be different in Neocaridina spp. If they are similar, then I wouldn't see an issue, but you'd probably want to include marine-based foods in your feeding rotation to ensure they are getting a balanced diet.

Should be just fine. Brings back lots of memories.. I used to be overflowing with these buggers.. in my fresh water canister filter and all

I tried a couple of times before I took them all in for credit. They stayed alive just long enough to run and hide, and I presume rot away in the tank.
