Shell Envy is a mineral based food designed to help your shrimp have a thick and healthy carapace. Their carapace is an integral part of their anatomy as it is what keeps all of their vital insides safe. It is also what helps them look their best at all times. As shrimp grow, they shed this outer layer of the carapace exposing a softer layer which takes a little time to harden. Feeding them a mineral based food as a supplement can help ensure they have the important nutrients to help their shell harden properly and beautifully. Please note that overfeeding a high content of mineral based foods can cause molting issues.
It contains 100% natural, organic ingredients that your shrimp will love! This is a high mineral content blend of kale, mulberry, nettle, dandelion, moringa, spinach, spirulina, chlorella, bee pollen, kelp, alfalfa, wheatgrass, black walnut, and other wonderful ingredients your shrimp love. There are also important nutrients and minerals such as beta-glucan, calcium carbonate, montmorillonite, amino acids, trace minerals, chitin, yeast, and probiotics.
This is a pellet food that is easy to break apart to let you control how much you feed your shrimp and it sinks quickly. This shrimp will break it apart and spread it around the tank so everyone gets some. If you are finding a pile of powder after 3 or 4 hours then you know you are overfeeding, lower your pellet size used.
Feeding instructions: Feed 1-2 pellets once a week. Remove any uneaten food after 2-3 hours.
