Mini Shrimp / Feeder Shrimp - NatureHolic Live Food

Forage shrimp (Palaemon varians) from the Mediterranean Sea, the North Atlantic, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea are a perfect live food for larger (predatory) fish due to their composition. They can survive for quite some time even in fresh water, so they are not suitable as food for crabs or dwarf shrimps.

Thanks to osmoregulation, feeder shrimp contain only as much salt as freshwater live food, so they can be fed to freshwater fish without any problems. Before feeding, please rinse the shrimp briefly under running water.

If you want to store shrimps for a short time only, you can "park" them in the bag in the refrigerator. If you want to keep them for a longer period of time, a small aquarium of 54 liters or more with salt water in brackish water concentration (approx. 15-20 g sea salt from the specialized trade per liter) is well suited. Room temperature is sufficient. Attention, the animals jump, the aquarium should therefore have a cover. Please do not use table salt or sea salt for human consumption for the preparation of the salt water - the trickling agent contained therein is harmful to the feeder shrimps.

Since Palaemon varians reproduces only very hesitantly in the aquarium - if at all - a breeding stock running on mass is not possible.

Here you buy live Palaemon varians feeder shrimps shrink-wrapped in sachets with 180ml content.
