  • Answer:

    They will eat leftover fish food. Ghost shrimps are largely carnivore. They will eat whole bloodworm if you give it to them.

They will eat decaying veges (such as plants in your tank), Algae, left over fish food, and blood worms. Reason they could be dieing off is fish killing them, toxics (test water), poor water quality in general, etc. We need to know facts about your tanks in order to help you with part two of your question.

Tank isn't cycled or there's something toxic in there. All your fish species are present in way too small numbers which leads to stress and increases risk of ilness.

You can feed them frozen food. They are bottom-feeders so they eat the left over food. If you want to feed them directly, feed them algae. You can also take a pinch of flakes, leave them in the water for a bit and they will eventually sink and the shrimp will consume them.
