Crayfish?
Ok so I need ez cheap food for my mantis shrimp, so I was thinking of just chatching crayfish in my local stream but was wondering how safe this is? Becuase I don't want to pay 2-5$ to buy live food at my LFS.

hmm, well you have to remember that it may be contaminated with whatever is in the stream.

well, maybe a LFS has some small crayfish available and you can breed them yourself possibly... You can get Frozen prawn/shrimp at your local food store and only feed live once a month

Why live only once a month?

I live in New Orleans, where about 75% of our meals consist of crawfish (crayfish, I guess). We love them, but they're still considered "water roaches" due to their bottom-dwelling feeding habits. To be safe, you're probably better off purchasing frozen food.

go to your grocery store and buy shrimp, crab, fish etc.
i think 1 shrip is a couple dozen cents. that should help you cut down on the cost...

Freshwater foods should only be given as the rare occasional treat. Marine flesh is high in UHEF fats and freshwater flesh is not. Feeding freshwater crabs, crayfish and fish to a marine critter will lead to fatty deposits in the liver shortening the life span of said marine critter.
Once in a blue moon is like a McD Double cheese burger once in a blue moon, fine. But I really wouldn't recommend living of them or eating them all that often for that matter.

I feed Doris Damsels once a week
