Snout and Shell Shrimp Snowflakes Food - High Protein Sinking Soy Pellets for Tropical Freshwater Caridina & Neocardinia Shrimp | 3.5oz/100mg

Item as described!

I have a ten gallon with a healthy colony of neocaridina shrimp, a few nerite snails, a betta, and countless ramshorns. I try to feed the shrimp with various foods and supplements throughout the weeks so they're never getting the same food frequently, so this was a fun addition to their diet. I love how quickly the pellets sink, so they land basically where I drop them, which is a huge positive.The shrimp do flock to it, but they get out-competed by the ramshorns if I don't up the pellet count. I wouldn't say this seems to be their favorite as many didn't even seem interested in it, but it will be a standard staple in their feed regardless.

Arrived quickly and pretty reasonably priced if you're buying small quantities.

I ordered this to hopefully use as a protein supplement for my cherry and amano shrimp. Unfortunately, none of them will touch it.My mystery snails, however, are in love! A single pellet lasts them a few days at most. There's enough other food in the tank for them that I don't supplement with these very often at all.The positive thing is that, as advertised, it does not seem to break down and alter my water. It just puffs up then sits on the bottom of the tank until gobbled up by snails or siphoned out.I'm giving three stars since it does behave as advertised for water quality purposes, but does not interest my shrimp at all.

I have a microtank that has a bunch of sunkist neocaridina and a couple ramshorns snails which all seem to really like this food. I've only been dropping 1-2 pellets mixed into with their regular food and thankfully they eat it all before it gets a chance to dissolve into the water. I like that the pellets tend to flower and poof up, it seems to make it easier for the shrimp to eat. Compared to the hikari pellets I usually get you get quite a lot for the price.

The media could not be loaded. This stuff seems to be pretty good, and my shrimp love it. However, one thing to be very keen on is how much you use. Directions say one pellet for every dozen shrimp and they mean that. If you do not have that many shrimp do not use more than 1 I say this because they don’t seem like much but they expand ALOT when out in water. In the photos/videos I provided this is a single pellet. I originally put multiple in at once and had to remove it because it was way to much for my small shrimp tank.Other than that, this is a solid product and would argue that’s a plus as you can save quite a bit with how little you need to use.

I have probably about 50-75 neocaridina in my 20 gal. tank, along with fish and live plants. I usually feed the shrimp algae pellets for plecostamus and aother algae eaters. I dropped a couple of these Snowflake pellets onto some driftwood in there and some shrimp are still picking at it after about 5 hours. It's made of soy hulls, so I am not sure if it will break down in the water or not if uneaten. I'll probably just use 1 pellet at a time in the future because they really expand when in water. Otherwise, the shrimp seem interested in it, although it's just a few at a time so they aren't all super attracted to it.

Got these to add some variety to the shrimps feed. My Cherry shrimp really took to them straight away. BTW, these are a larger compressed pellet in their dry form. What you see in the pic is ONLY one pellet that has rehydrated. They expand like crazy, and look like snowflakes when fully expanded. I'm glad I didn't throw several pellets in, as I would have overfed the shrimp. The plus side is these will last quite a long time since one pellet will feed so many. Made of soy hulls, they are supposed to dissolve into the water without clouding. The package states one to two pellets per dozen ADULT shrimp. I believe that to be conservative. All in all, a good addition to help keep my shrimp healthy and thriving.
