Frequently Asked Questions
Are these safe for sensitive shrimp like Caridina?
Yes — the formula is plant-based with added calcium, no copper, and no medications. Always introduce new foods gradually and remove leftovers promptly in soft-water tanks.
Will my fish eat them too?
Most peaceful, plant-grazing fish (plecos, otocinclus, mollies) will happily share. Avoid using around fish that compete aggressively with shrimp for food — the shrimp will lose out.
How long does one stick last in the tank?
A typical stick is fully consumed by a healthy colony in 4–12 hours. Remove any leftovers after 12 hours to protect water quality.
How often should I feed them?
1–2 sticks per week as a supplement is plenty. Continue feeding your staple shrimp food daily and rotate flavors for nutritional variety.
