Xtreme Shrimpee Sinking Sticks
Feed your shrimp, snails, and bottom dwellers a complete daily diet with Xtreme Shrimpee Sinking Sticks. These 2.4mm sticks sink fast and hold their shape without clouding the water, delivering krill-rich protein and natural color enhancers right where bottom feeders forage. Farm-grown and made in the USA. Browse more fish food at Squeaky's Aquatics.
Built for Shrimp and Bottom Feeders
Shrimpee is formulated as a complete diet for freshwater shrimp, including cherry, Amano, ghost, neocaridina, and caridina species. Corydoras, otocinclus, loaches, small catfish, snails, and other nano-tank residents take to it just as readily. Krill and astaxanthin bring out rich reds and natural color.
Sinks Fast, Stays Clean
The dense sticks drop straight to the substrate and stay firm long enough for slow grazers to find them, so you get less waste and clearer water than with crumbly wafers. A great pick for planted and nano aquariums where bottom feeders need a food of their own.
Feeding
Drop one or two sticks per feeding, offering only what your livestock will finish within a few hours. Remove anything left overnight to protect water quality. Offered in 2.4 oz (68 g) and 6 oz (170 g); choose your size at the top of the page.
