The small sinking granules are perfectly sized for shrimp to grasp and consume at the tank bottom. Available at TaraPet, the UAE's trusted online pet store.

Developed by Sera in Germany, Shrimps Natural represents the Nature line philosophy applied to ornamental shrimp nutrition. Every ingredient serves a genuine nutritional purpose, providing the proteins, minerals, vitamins, and natural fiber that shrimp need for healthy growth, successful molting, and vibrant color expression without any synthetic additives.

Natural Ingredients Formula

The sera shrimps natural food contains carefully selected natural ingredients including spirulina algae, willow bark, alder cones, stinging nettle, and other botanical components that replicate the diverse diet shrimp consume in their natural habitats. Wild shrimp feed on biofilm, decaying plant matter, algae, and micro-organisms, and this formula provides the nutritional equivalent of that varied natural diet in a convenient granule form.

The absence of artificial additives means every nutrient in the formula comes from genuine food sources that shrimp metabolic systems evolved to process. Natural ingredient nutrition produces healthier shrimp with stronger immune systems, better breeding success, and more vibrant natural coloration compared to diets containing synthetic compounds.

Sinking Granule Design

The sera shrimps natural food granules sink immediately to the aquarium floor where shrimp naturally feed. Shrimp are bottom-dwelling creatures that forage along substrate surfaces, decorations, and plant leaves. Sinking food reaches them directly in their preferred feeding zone rather than floating uselessly at the surface where shrimp cannot access it.

The granule size is precisely calibrated for ornamental shrimp to grip with their feeding appendages. Granules that are too large waste food as shrimp cannot consume them efficiently, while granules that are too small dissolve before shrimp locate them. The optimized size ensures minimal waste and maximum nutrition delivery to every shrimp in the colony.

Molting Support Nutrition

Healthy molting is the most critical aspect of shrimp health, and sera shrimps natural food provides the minerals and nutrients that support successful exoskeleton shedding and reformation. Calcium, magnesium, and other essential minerals in the formula supplement the dissolved minerals in the water, ensuring shrimp have adequate resources for the demanding molting process.

The willow bark and alder cone extracts in the formula provide natural humic substances that condition the water and support the soft, slightly acidic conditions many shrimp species prefer. These botanical components serve dual purposes as both nutrition and environmental conditioning agents that benefit the entire shrimp habitat.

Color Enhancement

Natural carotenoid pigments from spirulina and other plant ingredients in sera shrimps natural food support vibrant coloration in all ornamental shrimp varieties. Cherry Shrimp develop deeper red coloration, Crystal Red Shrimp show more defined white and red banding, and Blue Dream Shrimp display richer blue pigmentation when fed a diet rich in natural color-enhancing compounds.

The color enhancement from natural carotenoids is more stable and authentic than results from synthetic pigments because shrimp metabolize natural compounds through their evolved biological pathways. Color improvement appears gradually over several molt cycles as new shells form with enhanced pigment deposition from the improved diet.

Breeding Colony Nutrition

Productive breeding colonies require consistent high-quality nutrition, and sera shrimps natural food provides the complete nutritional profile that supports continuous reproduction. Female shrimp carrying eggs have increased nutritional demands that must be met for healthy embryo development and successful hatching. Protein-rich natural ingredients support both maternal health and offspring viability.

Newly hatched shrimplets benefit from the fine particles that naturally crumble from the granules as adult shrimp feed. These micro-particles provide accessible nutrition for the tiny juveniles during their critical first days when they cannot consume full-sized granules. The natural feeding process creates a secondary food source for the youngest colony members.

Water Quality Friendly

The sera shrimps natural food granules maintain structural integrity in water, releasing nutrients gradually as shrimp consume them rather than dissolving rapidly and clouding the water. Minimal dissolution means less organic waste entering the water column, reducing the burden on filtration systems and maintaining the pristine water quality that shrimp require.

Overfeeding remains the primary water quality risk with any shrimp food. Feed only what the colony consumes within one to two hours, and remove any uneaten food after this period. The small granule size makes portion control straightforward, and the slow dissolution rate provides a generous consumption window before water quality impacts occur.

Suitable for All Species

The sera shrimps natural food formula is appropriate for all popular ornamental freshwater shrimp species. Neocaridina varieties including Cherry, Blue Velvet, Yellow, and Orange shrimp thrive on this balanced diet. Caridina species including Crystal Red, Crystal Black, Taiwan Bee, and Tiger shrimp receive the sensitive nutrition profile they require without problematic additives.

Amano shrimp, bamboo shrimp, and other less common species also benefit from the natural ingredient profile. The universal formulation means a single food product serves the entire shrimp collection regardless of species diversity, simplifying feeding management for hobbyists maintaining multiple shrimp varieties.

Feeding Guidelines

Feed sera shrimps natural food once daily or every other day in amounts the colony consumes within one to two hours. A small pinch of granules is typically sufficient for a colony of twenty to thirty shrimp. Observe feeding behavior and adjust quantities based on how quickly food is consumed and how actively shrimp forage between feedings.

Supplement with occasional blanched vegetables, specialized mineral foods, and biofilm-promoting products for optimal dietary variety. While Shrimps Natural provides complete daily nutrition, dietary diversity mimics the varied feeding opportunities shrimp encounter in nature and supports overall colony health and vitality.
