Product Information
Full details
Nature4Pets Algae Shrimp Sticks are an ideal supplemental food source for aquarium enthusiasts looking to provide a nutrient-rich, vegetable-based snack for their shrimp. These lollipops support healthy growth, vibrant coloration, successful molting, and breeding through a balanced mix of algae and vegetables. While highly engaging and easy to use, owners must be careful not to overfeed, as these sticks are intended as a treat rather than a primary staple diet.

FAQs
Can I use these for other aquarium inhabitants?
These sticks are specifically formulated for shrimp; while some bottom feeders may nibble, they are designed to support the specific mineral requirements of shrimp.
How often should I feed the shrimp?
Use one lollipop for every 50 shrimp, two to three times per week as a supplement.
Do the sticks break down too quickly?
They are designed to remain stable in water for the duration of the feeding session, allowing the shrimp time to graze effectively.
Is the wooden stick safe for my tank?
Yes, the wooden sticks are food-safe and designed for aquarium use, provided they are removed once the feed is fully consumed.
Will this food affect my water parameters?
When used according to instructions, this feed is clean and should not significantly impact water parameters; however, avoid leaving uneaten food in the tank for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Shrimp are ignoring the stick
Ensure the stick is placed in an area with high shrimp traffic and that the shrimp are not already overfed from other sources.
Water appears cloudy after feeding
This may indicate overfeeding; ensure you only use one stick per 50 shrimp and remove any uneaten remnants after 24 hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the sticks is straightforward: simply push the wooden end of the lollipop into the aquarium substrate or attach it to a feeding clip near the bottom of the tank. Ensure there is enough space for your shrimp to gather safely. Because the sticks are made of natural ingredients, the feed will remain stable in the water until fully consumed. For best results, keep the package in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the vegetables. If the shrimp have not finished the stick after 24 hours, it is recommended to remove the remainder to maintain optimal water quality.
