Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp Food & Tank Botanicals 

Shrimp Food – The Perfect Nutrition for Your Little Friends

Shrimps are hungry creatures by nature—but that doesn’t mean they’ll eat anything. The right diet is essential for raising shrimp that live a long life and have bright colors. Ideally, your shrimp food should be appetizing to the little critters while providing all the essential nutrients they need to live a healthy life.

• Protein-Packed for Growth – Baby shrimp need all the protein they can get to grow strong and thrive. High-quality shrimp pellets or granules loaded with amino acids give them the boost they need.
• Calcium = Stronger Shells – Molting is a big deal for shrimp, and without enough calcium, they can struggle. Mineral-rich shrimp food, crushed eggshells, or cuttlebone help keep their shells sturdy and healthy after each molt.
• Natural Goodies for Balance – Shrimp love a little variety! Blanched veggies like spinach, zucchini, and carrots provide fiber, vitamins, and a natural snack that keeps them active and thriving.

A well-fed shrimp colony is more active, colorful, and resilient. Providing a variety of foods ensures they receive all the nutrients they need to flourish in your aquarium.

Aquarium Botanicals for Healthy Shrimps

If you want your shrimp to truly thrive, botanicals are a game-changer. Research shows that shrimp do best in tanks that mirror their natural habitat.

Dried leaves, seed pods, and wood aren’t just for aesthetics—they’re packed with benefits that keep your shrimp healthy and stress-free.

• Immune System Booster – Indian almond leaves, guava leaves, and other botanicals release tannins with antibacterial and antifungal properties. Translation? Less disease, healthier shrimp.
• Built-In Snack Bar – As botanicals break down, they grow biofilm—a natural superfood for shrimp, especially baby shrimp. This means they get a steady, nutritious food source straight from their environment.
• Stress-Free Zone – Shrimp love having places to hide and explore. Botanicals like cholla wood and seed pods create natural shelters, reducing stress and encouraging natural behaviors.

Adding botanicals isn’t just about making your tank look cool. It’s about giving your shrimp a thriving, natural ecosystem where they can live their best lives.
