Key Features:

• Sinkable, water-stable food stick; made in Germany from 100% natural ingredients
• No artificial colors, preservatives, or fish meal
• Also suitable for crayfish, dwarf crayfish (CPOs), crabs, and snails
• Feeding rate: approximately 5mm stick per 20 shrimp; remove uneaten food after 24 hours

Ideal For:

• Neocaridina and Caridina shrimp keepers looking for a single complete staple food that covers daily nutritional requirements without needing to manage multiple primary feeds
• Hobbyists building a targeted supplemental feeding rotation using other Shrimp King products, who need a reliable complete base food
• Community freshwater tanks that also include crayfish, CPOs, crabs, or snails alongside shrimp

Pro Tips:

• Use Shrimp King Complete as the daily base and rotate supplements around it. Complete covers daily nutritional needs, but the Shrimp King line is designed as a system. Rotating in Shrimp King Color for color enhancement, Shrimp King Mineral for molting support, and Shrimp King Protein during egg-bearing periods produces better results than any single food alone.
• Size portions carefully and remove uneaten food at 24 hours. The recommended dose is approximately 5mm of stick per 20 shrimp. Leftover food degrades water quality in a shrimp tank faster than in most fish tanks due to lower flow and bioload. If food consistently remains after 24 hours, reduce the dose.
• Drop the stick near a flat surface or feeding area. Shrimp King Complete sinks and stays stable on the substrate. Placing it on a flat stone or feeding dish makes it easier to remove uneaten portions cleanly and lets you observe feeding behavior to confirm dosing is appropriate.
• Watch grazing behavior, not just shrimp count, to gauge portion size. A well-dosed tank will have shrimp actively grazing the stick until it is consumed. If the stick disappears very quickly with shrimp competing aggressively, a slight dose increase may be appropriate.
