FAQs
How often should I feed Gioia Shrimp Lollies?
It is recommended to feed 1-2 lollies per week as a supplementary treat, depending on the size of your shrimp colony and their consumption.
Can these lollies be used as a main food source?
No, Gioia Shrimp Lollies are designed as a nutritious treat and should supplement, not replace, your shrimp's primary diet.
Are the ingredients safe for my shrimp?
Yes, all ingredients are 100% organic and specifically chosen for their nutritional benefits and safety for aquarium shrimp.
Which flavor is best for improving shrimp color?
The Spirulina and Paprika lollies are particularly beneficial for enhancing natural coloration and pigmentation.
How do I store unused lollies?
Store unused lollies in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it's best to use them relatively quickly to maintain freshness.
What should I do if my shrimp don't eat the whole lolly?
Remove any uneaten portion after 2-4 hours to prevent it from decomposing and affecting water quality. This also helps in managing the feeding frequency.
Troubleshooting
Shrimp are not showing interest in the lolly.
Ensure the lolly is fresh. Try a different flavor from the pack. Confirm that your shrimp are not already overfed or have a stable, varied diet. Introduce the lolly during a time when shrimp are typically active.
Uneaten lolly is fouling the water.
Remove any uneaten portion of the lolly within 2-4 hours after introduction. Feed smaller amounts or less frequently. Ensure adequate filtration and water change schedule for your aquarium.
Lolly stick breaks when inserting into substrate.
Gently pre-moisten the substrate around where you intend to insert the stick. If the substrate is very hard, consider using a feeding clip or a different method to secure the lolly.
