What are the benefits of Shirakura Shrimp Food?The basic benefit of our food is that it provides incredible nutrition to your baby and adult shrimp of ALL breeds. Using this extraordinary supplementary shrimp feed, triples the life expectancy of baby shrimp and helps them to develop into healthier, happier adult shrimp. The microorganisms that grow from the shrimp food powder consume the waste of shrimp helping keep the water clearer. Studies have also shown that shrimp have an enhanced color when being fed this amazing food. How much and how often should I feed my shrimp? The quantity of powder depends not only on the size of the tank, but also on the number of shrimp. For a standard 15 gallon tank, start out with one level teaspoon per day. For 32 gallon tanks and larger, and/or if you have many shrimp, a heaping teaspoonful each day should be used. Be patient and gradually approach the correct dosage for your tank by feeding and analyzing your own experiences. Even two shrimp tanks in the same household with identical decorations have their own microbiological differences that can affect the feeding and development of baby shrimp. The most important thing to remember when feeding your shrimp is that it is always better to underfeed than overfeed. Overfeeding your shrimp might result in poor water quality and even cause distress to shrimp. The line between starving and overfeeding is a thin one, especially for baby shrimp. When first born, baby shrimp stay in the same place for several days and can starve to death if food does not reach them quickly. Shirakura Shrimp Food spreads microorganisms into every corner of the tanks so baby shrimp have food no matter where they lay. Should I continue to feed my shrimp into adulthood? Yes. To maintain the food basis and microorganisms in your tank, it is recommended to regularly add this powder, not only when baby shrimp are present.
