Fish Science Shrimp Stick 60g - Sinking Vegetable Sticks for Freshwater Shrimp

The FS Shrimp Stick 60g is a sinking stick food formulated specifically for freshwater shrimp, designed to replicate the algae-heavy, plant-based diet these animals would naturally graze on. Suitable for hobbyists keeping popular dwarf shrimp species in planted or species-only aquarium setups.

Diet-Matched Formulation

The ingredient profile closely mirrors the natural feeding behaviour of commonly kept shrimp species, which rely heavily on algae and vegetable matter. Key components include alfalfa, spirulina, chlorella algae, kelp, and spinach — all of which deliver the plant-based nutrition shrimp actively seek out.

Exoskeleton Support

Calcium and mineral levels within the formula are balanced to support healthy exoskeleton development and moulting. For shrimp keepers, this is a meaningful consideration — successful moulting is directly linked to long-term health and survival.

Stick Format and Feeding Behaviour

Each stick measures 4mm x 1mm and sinks immediately on contact with water, allowing targeted placement on the substrate or near feeding areas. This format suits the natural grazing behaviour of shrimp and reduces unnecessary waste compared to surface or floating foods.

For shrimp keepers who want a diet-appropriate, mineral-complete food that supports both nutrition and natural foraging, FS Shrimp Stick 60g is a straightforward, well-considered choice.
