OldCanuk Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I notice that some shrimp breeders use feeding dishes to make it easier to clean up excess food in their shrimp tanks. Anyone able to tell me where to get or what to use?? I gather glass would work best and very shallow of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I have seen them on eBay for about 5 bucks. Clay pot saucers and glass ashtrays from wallymart will run you about a buck. Have seen both used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppy2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I was just about to say both of those lol the clay pot saucers look more natural though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukeswild Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I found mine at ikea that were used to for glass candle holders. Think I got 4 for $2 or something similiar. They have all sizes and shapes and colours in that style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Glass petri dishes ate used a lot, most of mine are specialty shrimp ones but are ~$12 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpsmasher Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) I found mine at ikea that were used to for glass candle holders. Think I got 4 for $2 or something similiar. They have all sizes and shapes and colours in that style Glass petri dishes ate used a lot, most of mine are specialty shrimp ones but are ~$12 each. I have uses all three of the above, petri dishes, the ikea candle holders (both sizes) and even the Ebi-ten ones (after seeing Ron's I couldn't resist when i saw them in Aqua Inspiration in Toronto) and they all work fairly well. The deeper ones like the ikea candle holders and fancy shrimp works well for lighter food like Barley pellets. Petri dishes are nice and wide but not as deep so i find they tend to collect substrate over time. The higher end ones (i.e Pyrex) are a bit deeper but pricer as well. I have also seems hobbyists use shallow clay dishes they just as well - just a matter of your needs and preferences for looks The bigger Ikea ones comes in packages of 6 for $4 and the Ebi-ten ones are around $12 and not available locally. generic shallow dishes can probably be found for $1-2 at the dollar or something.
