    Default WTB Ghost shrimp

    Or any other type of feeder shrimp. I may be down for some type of feeder fish as well. Just anything I can use to feed my dwarf lion.

    Did you convert them to SW? I thought they were freshwater fish.

    you can acclimate them to saltwater. I think it took me about 2 hours to acclimate them by dripping water from my tank into a bucket with them in it

    ya technically mollies are brackish fish, just are sold as freshwater because they do well in it, but thrive much more in a saline environment. I would just drip acclimate them and they will do well enough.

    I ended up buying some ghost shrimp from Polly's in New Braunfels. I also bought a few feeder guppies which I'm hoping breed.
