Description

Shrimp – Snowflake Food

Snowflake food is a natural, plant-based shrimp food designed to provide long-lasting grazing for freshwater shrimp. Made from processed soybean husks, these pellets expand once submerged and slowly break down, creating a soft grazing surface that shrimp can feed on over an extended period.

As the pellets break down in the aquarium, they support the growth of naturally occurring micro-organisms that shrimp graze on. Due to its slow, controlled breakdown and low impact on water quality when used correctly, Snowflake food can be left in the aquarium until fully consumed, making it ideal for continuous grazing, juvenile shrimp, and established tanks.

Feeding Guidelines & Important Notes

• Feed in small quantities; one pellet is usually sufficient for small to medium shrimp groups

• Place pellets directly onto the substrate

• Allow the food to remain in the aquarium until fully consumed

• Adjust feeding amounts based on shrimp population and tank condition

• Avoid excessive feeding to maintain stable water quality.

Shrimp Food Comparison Guide

Snowflake Food
Ideal for long-term grazing and juvenile shrimp. Designed to break down slowly and remain in the aquarium without rapid water fouling when fed responsibly.

Powder Foods
Best suited for baby shrimp, dispersing throughout the tank for broad access to food.

Pellets & Granules
Suitable for controlled feeding of juvenile to adult shrimp and fish.

Natural Biofilm
An essential part of shrimp nutrition and should always be present in mature aquariums.

For best results, we recommend rotating food types to support balanced nutrition and natural feeding behaviour.
