Eagle shrimp algae wafer from Horizone provides specialized nutrition for freshwater shrimp, plecos, snails, and other algae-eating bottom dwellers in your aquarium. This premium 100ml container offers a concentrated algae-based formula that sinks quickly to reach bottom-feeding inhabitants. Available at TaraPet UAE with free delivery.

The Horizone Eagle line delivers premium nutrition at accessible pricing. This eagle shrimp algae wafer combines spirulina, kelp, and vegetable proteins to replicate the natural diet of herbivorous and omnivorous bottom-dwelling aquarium species.

Features of Eagle Shrimp Algae Wafer

This eagle shrimp algae wafer features a dense, compressed format that sinks immediately to the aquarium floor where bottom feeders naturally search for food. The wafer softens gradually in water, allowing shrimp and snails to graze over extended periods without dissolving too quickly.

The formula centers on spirulina algae and kelp as primary ingredients, supplemented with vegetable proteins, essential minerals, and vitamins. This composition closely matches what shrimp and plecos consume in their natural freshwater habitats.

Ideal for Freshwater Shrimp

Cherry shrimp, Amano shrimp, crystal shrimp, and other popular dwarf shrimp species thrive on this algae-rich diet. The wafer format allows multiple shrimp to feed simultaneously, reducing competition and ensuring every member of the colony receives adequate nutrition.

The balanced calcium and mineral content supports healthy molting cycles, which is critical for shrimp survival. Inadequate mineral intake leads to failed molts and mortality, making properly formulated food essential for successful shrimp keeping.

Perfect for Bottom Feeders

Plecostomus catfish, otocinclus, corydoras, and bristlenose plecos all benefit from this sinking algae formula. These species often go underfed in community tanks where floating foods never reach the bottom, leading to gradual starvation and health decline.

Snail species including nerite snails, mystery snails, and Malaysian trumpet snails eagerly consume these wafers. Providing dedicated nutrition for your cleanup crew ensures they remain healthy and continue performing their valuable algae-control duties.

Feeding Guidelines

Drop one to two wafers into the aquarium during evening hours when nocturnal bottom feeders are most active. For shrimp colonies, break wafers into smaller pieces to create multiple feeding stations and reduce crowding at a single location.

Remove any uneaten portions after 6 to 8 hours to prevent water quality deterioration. Adjust quantities based on how quickly wafers are consumed. A well-populated shrimp tank may consume a full wafer overnight while a small pleco may take two days.

Nutritional Benefits

Spirulina provides concentrated plant protein and natural immune-boosting compounds. Kelp delivers essential trace minerals including iodine and iron. Together these algae sources offer a nutritional profile superior to the biofilm and aufwuchs that bottom feeders consume in nature.

The vegetable protein component supports growth and reproduction. Breeding shrimp and plecos require additional nutrition beyond what standard algae growth provides. This formula fills that gap with concentrated nutrition in every wafer.

Shrimp Breeding Support

Hobbyists maintaining breeding colonies find that consistent high-quality feeding increases berried female frequency and shrimplet survival rates. The minerals and proteins in this formula support egg development and provide the nutrition gravid females need during the carrying period.

Newborn shrimplets can graze on softened wafer fragments alongside adults. The gradual dissolution creates tiny food particles perfect for juvenile shrimp that cannot yet handle larger pieces, supporting the colony from birth to maturity.

Water Quality Considerations

The dense wafer format produces less water clouding than powder or crumble alternatives. However, overfeeding any sinking food risks ammonia spikes in heavily stocked shrimp tanks. Start with conservative amounts and increase based on actual consumption.

Shrimp are particularly sensitive to water parameter fluctuations. Feeding appropriate quantities of high-quality food like this reduces the organic load on your filtration system, helping maintain the stable parameters that sensitive crystal and bee shrimp species require.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed. Algae-based foods absorb moisture readily, which causes premature softening and nutrient degradation. In UAE conditions, keep in an air-conditioned room away from kitchen humidity.

The 100ml container provides adequate supply for most hobbyist setups. Use within three months of opening for maximum nutritional benefit. Fresh wafers maintain their structure and nutrient density better than aged product.
