What do the Neos eat?
Neos (BLUEiQ shrimp) are omnivores. They graze on algae and microorganisms that grow in the surfaces of the plants, substrate, and glass. They are opportunistic feeders and will consume decaying plant material, other dead Neos, and molted Neo exoskeletons as part of the natural balance of the BLUEiQ system. It is not recommended to add outside food (e.g. aquarium fish food) to the BLUEiQ. The BLUEiQ is designed to develop a balanced ecosystem; introducing food may overload the system and cause it to crash.
