Snowflake Shrimp Food is a natural, soybean husk-based supplemental food designed for freshwater ornamental shrimp. Once submerged, the pellets gradually soften and break apart into delicate “snowflakes,” creating a long-lasting grazing surface that encourages the natural feeding behavior of Neocaridina, Caridina, Amano Shrimp, and other freshwater invertebrates.
Natural Soybean Husk Nutrition
Made primarily from soybean husks, Snowflake Shrimp Food provides a plant-based source of fiber, protein, amino acids, and naturally occurring nutrients. Its simple soybean-based formula makes it an excellent addition to a varied shrimp feeding routine and can be rotated with other vegetable, mineral, and protein-rich foods.
Encourages Natural Grazing & Biofilm
Unlike traditional pellets that are quickly consumed, Snowflake Shrimp Food slowly softens and spreads into numerous small flakes throughout the feeding area. The soybean material provides a surface where biofilm and microorganisms can develop, giving shrimp an additional natural food source to continuously graze on.
Excellent for Baby Shrimp & Large Colonies
As the pellets soften, they separate into many smaller pieces that can be accessed by shrimp throughout the aquarium. This makes Snowflake Shrimp Food especially useful for breeding colonies and tanks with shrimplets, where smaller shrimp may have difficulty competing with adults around a single concentrated piece of food.
Long-Lasting & Low-Pollution Food
Snowflake Shrimp Food breaks down slowly rather than rapidly dissolving into the water column. This provides shrimp with an extended grazing period while helping reduce the excess waste commonly associated with quickly deteriorating foods. Its long-lasting nature also makes Snowflake Food a popular supplemental option when shrimp keepers will be away from their aquarium for a short period.
Watch the “Snowflake” Effect
After being added to the aquarium, the compressed soybean husk pellets gradually absorb water, soften, and separate into fluffy flakes — giving Snowflake Shrimp Food its name. Shrimp can spend hours picking through the softened pieces and grazing from their surfaces.
Ideal For: Neocaridina Shrimp, Caridina Shrimp, Amano Shrimp, baby shrimp (shrimplets), and other freshwater ornamental shrimp.
Size: 100g
Ingredients:
Soybean Husk
Guaranteed Analysis:
Crude Protein: 9% min.
Crude Fat: 5% max.
Moisture: 12% max.
Feeding Instructions:
Add a small amount directly to the aquarium. The pellets will sink and gradually soften into smaller flakes for shrimp to graze on. Start with a small portion and adjust according to the size of your shrimp colony and how quickly the food is consumed. Snowflake Shrimp Food is intended as a supplemental food and should be offered as part of a varied diet.
