Shrimp are grazers: they spend most of the day picking at biofilm, the thin slimy layer of bacteria, algae and fungi that grows on every surface in an aquarium. In a tank with a good biofilm layer, a prepared food is a top-up rather than the whole diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSinks to where shrimp feed and holds its shape while they graze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives a consistent everyday diet alongside natural biofilm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to portion, so it is simple to see what has been eaten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsage \u0026amp; Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed a small amount every one to two days rather than several times a day. A useful starting point is roughly one pellet for every five shrimp, then adjust to what is finished within a few hours. Follow the rate printed on the product label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRisk \u0026amp; Awareness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverfeeding is the most common cause of trouble in a shrimp tank. Uneaten food breaks down into ammonia, which is toxic to shrimp, and surplus food also drives snail population booms. Remove anything uneaten after a few hours. Store food dry and sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shrimp Zone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52845949780280,"sku":"PLACEHOLDER-shrimp-staple-food","price":14.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shrimpzone.com.au\/products\/shrimp-staple-food","provider":"Shrimp Zone ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
