Boris Lambert –
My Cherry Shrimp have been eating these discs regularly for two months. They’re more active and their colors are brighter than before. The discs sink well and don’t float to the surface. No fish meal means it’s a clean, plant-based option that fits my shrimp’s diet perfectly.
Kylie Lewis –
I switched from a general shrimp food to this herbivore formula and noticed a difference in molting. My shrimp are molting more smoothly and their shells look stronger. The color has stayed vibrant, which I appreciate.
Nicholas Lawrence –
The sinking discs are easy to use and keep the tank clean. My Blueberry Shrimp are now feeding consistently and seem healthier. No fish meal is a plus for a plant-based diet.
Jonathan Jackson –
The food works well, but I found it takes a bit longer for the shrimp to start eating it. I had to place the discs in the middle of the tank to get them to notice. Still, it’s a good step toward a natural diet.
