some peppermint shrimp will eat it, some wont.... typically it depends on the region they are harvested from (some ppl claim that its because your lfs mis-identified the shrimp and what you bought was a camel shrimp, but from my experience its a regional difference).. I've also used Joe's Juice with mixed results.. most of them eventually returned to life within weeks... just keep after them as soon as you see them.. and I have never been able to insert the syringe into the mouth.. i always just got it very close and slowly let the joes juice out so it would enter the mouth.... some ppl have claimed better success with making a paste out of kalkweiser.... i don't think i would use hot sauce in my aquarium.. contains too many impurities/unknown ingredients.... and im also not sure how effective hot water would be.. more than likely some remaining tissue will respawn a new colony.
