Culturing white shrimp... or other food

[jjarbo1]

I'm going to get a lion fish in the coming months and although I understand they can be weaned onto frozen preparations, I'd like to be able to provide live food as well. I'm having trouble finding information on culturing white shrimp, or any other food for aggressive fish for that matter. Any ideas?

Is the "white" shrimp a saltwater shrimp or a fresh water shrimp?
Could be what I've seen labeled as ghost shrimp.
No info here on raising them.

The white shrimp is a saltwater shrimp. Here's a link...

Penaeus vannamei - Google Search

It is probably VERY time consuming. The above link is a google search for "raising Penaeus vannamei".

In alot less time than it would take to raise a batch of shrimp you could wean a Lionfish and probably teach it proper table manners to boot.
