Firebelly newt and Ghost Shrimp.

[tarasquadx]

My firebelly newt decided to go on strike and won't eat bloodworms anymore.. I bought some baby guppies and it seems like he is scared of them. Today I bought a baby ghost shrimp, and less than a minute later I couldn't find it in my tank. Is it possible that he ate it so quickly?

That could be. Try adding a couple more.

Although it is more than possible that your little guy eat the shrimp, ghost shrimp are hard to see and like to hiding. I thought the same thing when I bought mine and I found it a day or two later hiding.

I would try small/chopped earthworms or blackworms. Also keep in mind that if your newt is a little stressed (from the fish/water change/temp) it will turn down food.

Good luck
