Valley Aquatics Snowflake Shrimp Food

Discover the ultimate supplemental treat for your shrimp colony with these pure soy husk snowflake bites! Made exclusively from food-grade soybean hulls (the natural outer shells of soybeans), this simple, single-ingredient wonder expands in water into soft, fluffy mounds that mimic natural biofilm—perfect for slow, constant grazing by Neocaridina, Caridina, and other freshwater shrimp.

Soybean hulls are rich in dietary fiber, essential minerals (like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium), trace vitamins, and amino acids, supporting healthy digestion, molting, growth, and breeding. As the hulls break down, they encourage beneficial mycelia and biofilm development, turning your substrate into a living buffet your shrimp will love. No additives, no fillers—just clean, natural nutrition that won’t cloud your water or spike parameters when used properly.

A shrimp keeper favorite for its low mess, long-lasting appeal, and vacation-friendly slow release!

Key Benefits:

• Expands into soft “snowflake” texture for easy grazing and biofilm promotion
• High fiber for gut health and natural foraging behavior
• Mineral-rich (calcium, magnesium, etc.) to aid shell formation and vitality
• Low-protein, low-pollution formula—safe for sensitive tanks
• Encourages mycelia growth for extra micronutrients and shrimp excitement

Feeding Instructions (Back/Side of Package)

Directions for Use: This is a supplemental food—use alongside biofilm, blanched veggies (zucchini, spinach, Indian almond leaves), algae wafers, or other varied foods for a balanced diet. Shrimp thrive on diversity!

1. Portion Size: Start conservatively! Add 1–2 small pellets (or a pea-sized amount of crumbled product) per 10–20 shrimp. Adjust based on your colony’s enthusiasm—aim for consumption within a few hours to a day.
2. Feeding Frequency: 2–4 times per week, or every other day in active/growing tanks. Ideal as a “background” food for constant grazing or during vacations (slow breakdown lasts days). Feed less if biofilm/algae is abundant.
3. How to Feed: Drop pellets directly into the tank—they sink and expand naturally into fluffy snowflake mounds. For precise dosing or shy shrimp, place on a feeding dish/saucer.
4. Tips for Best Results:
   • Remove any uneaten remnants after 24–48 hours to keep water pristine (though soy husks are low-fouling).
   • Watch your shrimp swarm the expanding flakes—they often go crazy for the texture and biofilm boost!
   • Great for breeding colonies: The minerals and slow-release nutrition support shrimplets and berried females.
   • Overfeeding is rare but possible—less is more to avoid any minor parameter shifts.

Pro Tip: Crumble larger pieces for baby shrimp or spread thinly for maximum surface area and mycelia fun. Your tank will come alive with happy grazers!
