Default Shrimp food?

I now have 6 peppermint shrimp. What do I need to feed them? Everytime I feed the fish, all of the shrimp come out and feast. Is there a special food for them? Thanks, Deb

They are scavengers and will eat anything that hit the substrate and rocks in the tank. They are fine with what you give everyone else!

Thanks Becky. Yesterday they moved one of my ricordias right next to where they stay?? Can't figure that one out yet. Maybe they like the look of it??
