    I'd like to try my hand at keeping some shrimp - but don't want them to get rekt. I don't care too much about any offspring - I just don't want the adults to become expensive snaccrifices.

    Thanks!

    You can buy artemia at most fish stores if you want to feed shrimp to your tiger barbs, no need to buy expensive live alternatives.
