Ornamental shrimp like Crystal Red and Crystal Black varieties are sensitive to water quality and benefit from small, controlled feedings rather than large amounts of food sitting in the tank. Dymax Crystal Shrimp food is portioned and formulated with that sensitivity in mind.
Why Shrimp Need Careful Feeding
Ornamental shrimp are far more sensitive to ammonia and water quality swings than most fish, and overfeeding is one of the most common causes of shrimp colony crashes. Small, controlled portions matter more here than with almost any other aquarium livestock.
What Crystal Shrimp Food Offers
- Formulated for shrimp nutrition, supporting molting, color, and overall colony health.
- Portion-friendly packaging available in individually sealed 10g bottles (24 to a box), reducing the temptation to overfeed from a large shared container.
- Also available in a 50g size for keepers who prefer one larger container.
Feeding Tips
- Feed a small pinch that a shrimp colony can clear within a couple of hours, removing anything left over.
- Feed every other day rather than daily in smaller colonies to avoid excess waste building up.
- Watch molting activity — shrimp eat less around molting, so scale back feeding if you notice more shed exoskeletons in the tank.
Choosing a Size
Crystal Shrimp food comes in a 24-bottle box of individually sealed 10g portions, or a single 50g container for keepers who don't need pre-portioned packs.
