Natural Color-Enhancing Food Granules for Freshwater Dwarf Shrimp
Dennerle Shrimp King Color is a sinkable, water-stable food granule formulated specifically for the color enhancement of freshwater dwarf shrimp. Dwarf shrimp cannot synthesize the carotenoid pigments responsible for their red, orange, and yellow coloration internally — they must obtain them through their diet. Without a consistent dietary source of carotenoids, coloration fades over time regardless of water parameters or genetics. Shrimp King Color addresses this directly with a concentrated blend of natural colorants.
The formula centers on astaxanthin, beta-carotene, and lutein, sourced from whole-food ingredients including microalgae, crustaceans, marigold flowers, peppers, carrots, and decapsulated Artemia eggs. Beyond color, the food also delivers high-quality proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins, and vital substances that support balanced growth, a functioning metabolism, and strong immune defenses. It contains no artificial colors, preservatives, or fish meal.
It is particularly suited to yellow, orange, and red-colored shrimp species, including Red Fire, Sakura Red, Sakura Orange, Yellow Fire, Blue Pearls, Black Tiger Shrimp, and Blue Tiger Shrimp — though it can be used as a color-targeted supplemental feed alongside a complete staple food for any Neocaridina or Caridina shrimp.
Key Features:
- Formulated specifically for color enhancement of yellow, orange, and red dwarf shrimp species
- High natural carotenoid content, including astaxanthin, beta-carotene, and lutein from whole food sources
- Sinkable, water-stable granules made from 100% natural ingredients; no artificial colors, preservatives, or fish meal
- Also provides high-quality proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins, and vital substances for overall health
- Suitable for Red Fire, Sakura Red, Sakura Orange, Yellow Fire, Blue Pearls, Black Tiger Shrimp, and Blue Tiger Shrimp
- Feeding rate: approximately 1 pinch per 20 shrimp; remove uneaten food after 24 hours
Ideal For:
- Neocaridina and Caridina hobbyists who want to maintain or deepen the natural coloration of red, orange, and yellow shrimp varieties
- Breeders selecting for color intensity who need a reliable dietary carotenoid source as part of a targeted feeding rotation
- Anyone supplementing a complete staple food with a color-specific formula for shrimp displaying faded or inconsistent coloration
Pro Tips:
- Use Shrimp King Color as a supplement, not the sole diet. It is a targeted color food, not a complete daily staple. Rotate it with a complete food like Shrimp King Complete to ensure your shrimp receive the full nutritional spectrum alongside color enhancement.
- Dose conservatively and remove uneaten food at 24 hours. Approximately 1 pinch per 20 shrimp is the recommended starting point. Overfeeding any granular food in a shrimp tank degrades water quality quickly. If food remains after 24 hours, reduce the next dose.
- Consistent feeding frequency matters more than large occasional doses. Carotenoid pigment expression in shrimp is a cumulative dietary effect. Feeding Shrimp King Color 2-3 times per week on a consistent schedule will produce better long-term color results than sporadic heavy feedings.
- Store in a cool, dry place and reseal after each use. Natural carotenoids degrade with exposure to heat, light, and moisture. Proper storage preserves potency between feedings.
