Shrimp-UP! foods are produced as small, sinking, water-stable blocks measuring approximately 5 × 5 × 2 mm. Their compact format allows freshwater shrimp to locate the food on the aquarium substrate and graze naturally.
The water-stable formulation helps the food maintain its structure, reducing rapid disintegration and making feeding easier to monitor.
Complete formulas: Feed once daily in a quantity your shrimp can consume within a few hours. When rotating between multiple Shrimp-UP! foods, offer each formula every 2–3 days.
Complementary formulas: Feed every 2–3 days alongside a nutritionally complete shrimp food.
Adjust feeding quantities based on shrimp population, natural biofilm availability, and feeding activity. Remove uneaten food to help maintain aquarium water quality.
