How to use a shrimp lolly?

Simply place the lolly directly into the aquarium substrate or in a suitable holder.

The shrimp will naturally come to feed on the coated part of the stick.

The feeding frequency should be adapted to the number of shrimp, the size of the tank, and the amount of natural food already available.

As with any complementary food, avoid distributing more than the colony can consume.

Nettle and spirulina in shrimp nutrition

Nettle is regularly used in recipes for aquarium shrimp. Spirulina is also very common in aquaristics.

Combining these two ingredients allows for an additional recipe in the dietary rotation of Caridina and Neocaridina.

Lollies or pellets for shrimp?

Both formats can be used perfectly in a complementary way.

Shrimp pellets make it easy to distribute a small amount of food in a dish or directly into the tank.

The frequency and quantity of food must therefore be adapted to each aquarium and the population present.
