Hey fishie people welcome back to the channel I am coming at you with
a new series called 365 days of fish keeping, That means for the next 365 days I will be posting
1 video a day highlighting a fish, plant, food or anything else fishkeeping related.
These videos will be quick little snapshots of the subject for the day, if we are talking about
fish or plants you will get a quick synopsis and care guide. Same with food or equipment,
I will also give them a score from 1-10 for my personal like or dislike of the topic for the day.
As always thank you so much for the support and please remember to SMASH that like button.
In this video, we are going to look at a food that I first started using when I wanted to try my hand
at cherry shrimp and then just kept feeding to my snails when that didn’t work out too well.
This food is Shrimp King Complete made by Dennerle. So this food somes in small pellets and
actually smells really good which after looking at the ingredients that makes a lot more sense. These
pellets are packed with Kelp, dandelion, stinging nettles, spinach, mulberry leaves, rosemary,
flower pollen, turmeric, cinnamon, insect proteins and others. Full list on screen for yall. As far
as the analytical goodies, this food has 23.1% crude protein, 6.2% crude fat and 9.2% crude
fiber. So, their website says the following about the food, “Feed sticks for daily feeding.
Containing all the important nutrients, substances needed for growth and vital substances that
shrimps need for healthy, balanced growth, vibrant colouring and plentiful reproduction.”
I was doing just that feeding these daily to my shrimp and then snails, they also say one,
five milimeter pellet per 20 shrimp and to remove any extra food after 24 hours.
I can tell you from personal experience I never had any left over. The good thing about this food
is that it easily breaks a part so if you needed smaller amounts it can easily be done, compared to
other pellets that might be harder to break. There are also no artificial colorings and the food
breaks apart easily once it sinks to the bottom so there is less fighting over it. As I said
I was feeding thins to my cherry shrimp but once they died off I just fed this to my snails
and they loved it. I also will toss this in the community tank as something different
for the fish to eat along with their regular food. I have broken it apart and fed it to my guppy tank
as well and they did not seem to mind all the tasty elements of it. The only negative I would
say to this food is the price to size ratio. For a 45 gram bottle you are looking at 15-20 dollars
depending on the place you buy from. I have not seen it go lower than $15 personally.
Now if you are only feeding one or two shrimp tanks then this
food would be great, its high quality and it tried and tested by big names in
the business of shrimp. But if you are running a shrimp room, then this could become an expense you
might not want to have as you will burn through one of these bottles in a while. That all being
said this is still probably one of the best shrimp foods out there
and the only one that I have seen shrimp and snails come out of hiding and race to when
I drop it into the tank. So, for that reason plus the cost of this food I am going to give
the Shrimp King Complete a 6.5 out of 10. As always thank you all so much for
