Calcium + Nutrition for Well-Rounded Shell and Body Health
KatsAquatics Calcium + Nutrition is a biologist-formulated supplement food that pairs shell-building calcium with plant-based nutrition for freshwater shrimp, snails, plecos, and other bottom feeders. Green tablets are rich in spinach and spirulina while red tablets add beet, giving your clean-up crew variety along with the calcium they need for strong shells and successful molts.

How to Feed

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for freshwater or saltwater?
Freshwater. It is made for freshwater shrimp, snails, plecos, and other bottom feeders.
How is it different from Calcium + Protein?
Calcium + Nutrition leans on plant ingredients like spinach, spirulina, and beet for a varied, easy-to-digest diet, while Calcium + Protein focuses on the highest calcium and protein for body growth.
Will it foul my water?
No. The pieces are made not to cloud or dissolve, so they hold their shape while your animals graze.
Why are there different colored pieces?
The green tablets get their color from spinach and spirulina, and the red tablets from beet extract. The colors come from real plant ingredients, not dyes.
