Why Calcium Matters for Shrimp

Freshwater shrimp periodically shed their exoskeleton as they grow. This natural process, known as moulting, requires suitable nutrition and stable aquarium water parameters.

Tropical Caridina Nano Sticks contains increased calcium to help support the development of a healthy exoskeleton. Combined with appropriate water hardness and mineral availability, a balanced diet helps maintain healthy shrimp growth and moulting.

Calcium in shrimp food complements proper aquarium mineral balance but does not replace suitable GH, KH, or other water parameter requirements.

Spirulina for Colour & Nutrition

With a minimum of 6% Spirulina platensis, Caridina Nano Sticks provides a natural source of carotenoids, vitamins, trace elements, and other beneficial nutritional compounds.

Spirulina is commonly included in ornamental shrimp diets to support overall condition and help maintain natural colouration. It provides valuable nutrients as part of a varied and balanced feeding routine.

Tropical Caridina Nano Sticks is suitable for a wide range of ornamental freshwater shrimp, including:

• Crystal Red and Crystal Black Caridina Shrimp

It may also be fed to other suitable aquatic crustaceans according to their nutritional requirements.

Feeding Instructions

Feed several times daily in small portions, offering only as much food as your shrimp can consume within approximately 2–3 minutes, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Adjust feeding quantities based on shrimp population, aquarium maturity, and the availability of natural biofilm and algae.

Remove uneaten food when necessary to prevent excess organic waste from accumulating in the aquarium.
