What do your freshwater shrimps feed on? They are generally omnivores, with a special preference for vegetable-based foods. Their natural diet includes algae, animal plankton, detritus (rotting foliage, dead vegetable matter, , etc.) and even carrion.
The challenge to feed the shrimps is to provide the natural sources of nutrition that are lacking in an aquarium. Try provide a good variety of quality shrimp feed such as different types of frozen feed (artemia or midge larvae), fresh vegetables (courgettes, spinach), algae wafers.
Catappa Leaves or herbs (stinging nettles) should be added to the diet on a regular basis as supplements and to provide a touch of variety.
