Mate shrimp/crayfish wouldnt be the best food for your frontosas.

Yabbies also hold their eggs for a few months and shrimp fry are hard to raise in a tank.

Its not really worth it in the end :lol:

You should feed your frontosas some pellets, mysis shrimp, and whitebait.

HTH,

Sam :P

oops sorry dont think i explained properly it would be like a treat for them every now and then not a every day food sorry i was a bit slack with details like we give the live brine shrimp to discus it would be a maybe once a week treat a couple of little shrimp i have seen them eat these already and they do enjoy them but wasnt thinking of for a permanent food source.
sorry for misunderstanding
