NATURAL FOOD FOR SHRIMPS AND CRABS
In the natural habitats of shrimps and crabs, fallen leaves play an important role in nutrition. The animals enjoy grazing on decomposed leaves along with the biofilm that develops on them. For a biologically balanced diet, vegetarian food should therefore be a regular feature in the diet of all shrimps and crabs.
The leaves of the Indian coral tree - known as "Dadap" in their country of origin - are 100% natural and are an optimal food supplement for all freshwater dwarf shrimps. The leaves are freshly picked, hand-picked, and gently dried.
They are characterized by a high content of essential vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, and plant enzymes. Additionally, they provide valuable dietary fibers that aid digestion. Due to their high protein content, they are often used in their home countries as high-quality animal feed.
ShrimpKing Dadap Leaves is a natural supplementary food and is an excellent addition to the main diet. The dried leaves absorb water in the aquarium and sink to the bottom within 1-2 days. A biofilm of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that ferment ('pre-digest') the leaf tissue forms on the surface. This natural growth is eagerly consumed by the shrimps. It contains all the nutrients and building blocks they need daily. The fibers of the leaves act as roughage and promote healthy digestion. Valuable secondary plant substances strengthen the body's defenses and support healthy development. ShrimpKing Dadap Leaves ensure healthy, balanced growth, increased vitality, and the joy of reproduction.
The ShrimpKing Dadap Leaves have proven valuable in the professional breeding and rearing of Caridina and Neocaridina species as a quality supplementary food. As the biological decomposition takes about 1-2 weeks, each animal has plenty of opportunities to feed. There is no food pressure, which is particularly beneficial for less aggressive animals and juveniles. In the end, only the skeleton of the leaves remains.
Professional tip: ShrimpKing Dadap Leaves are perfect as a natural food for weekends or holidays - without unnecessarily polluting the water. Simply place them in the aquarium before your vacation, and you can leave quietly, with peace of mind knowing your beloved shrimps are adequately supplied.
ShrimpKing Dadap Leaves are also ideal as a food supplement for dwarf crabs (CPOs), snails, and algae-eating catfish (e.g., Ancistrus species).
