Shrimp Nutrition
In order for shrimp to show their full color potential and to support their well-being, there is no underestimating how important well-balanced nutrition is. Feeding is recommended once per day with any excess food removed after approximately one hour. Shrimp are omnivores and as such require a mix of both plant and animal proteins.

Molting
Diets that are excessively rich in protein can be the cause of potential problems during molting. Ideal protein levels are between 35 to 40%. It is recommended to feed foods that have been specially formulated for shrimp such as Fluval Shrimp Granules. It contains a special type of algae that is naturally rich in iodine, which helps shrimp re-grow a healthy exoskeleton after molting.

Quality Fish Foods For Healthy Fish

Good nutrition is a must for healthy aquarium inhabitants and a healthy ecosystem. Every year, thousands of fish become diseased or die because of malnutrition. Poor nutrition affects the fish's immune system, making them more susceptible to disease.

Which Food, Which Fish?

With the wide variety of commercial foods available, it is sometimes difficult to determine which type of food to feed your fish. When choosing a food, the first thing you need to know is what type of diet is natural to your fish.

FAQs: Fish Diet

No single food can provide all of the nutrients your fish need - protein, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals - in the forms each species prefer. Thus, the key to good feeding is variety.

Understanding Aquarium Fish Nutrition

Proper nutrition is essential for healthy aquarium inhabitants. Achieving good nutrition is more than choosing a food and feeding your fish. When selecting food for your fish, consider the dietary needs of all your fish.
