Xtreme Sun-Dried River Shrimp
Xtreme Sun-Dried River Shrimp are a 100% natural, single-ingredient treat that carnivorous fish, pond fish, turtles, axolotls, frogs, and hermit crabs love. Each 1 to 2 cm shrimp is gently sun-dried to lock in the protein and natural color-boosting carotenoids, with nothing added: no fillers, dyes, or preservatives.

Why Xtreme River Shrimp
- One natural ingredient. Just whole dried river shrimp, over 60% crude protein, and nothing else.
- Natural color enhancer. The shrimp's own carotenoids help deepen reds and oranges, with no artificial dyes.
- Supports gut health. Provides natural roughage for healthy digestion.
- Loved across species. A favorite treat for carnivorous community fish, cichlids, pond fish, turtles, axolotls, frogs, and hermit crabs.
Two Sizes
Pick the size that fits how often you offer treats:
- 0.5 oz (14 g) bag. Great for smaller tanks or a first try.
- 1 oz (28 g) bag. Better value for multiple tanks, ponds, or bigger appetites.
Feeding Directions
Feed as a treat, supplementary to your pet's everyday staple food. Offer only what can be eaten in 2 to 3 minutes and remove any uneaten shrimp. For smaller fish, break or crush the shrimp into bite-size pieces, or pre-soak larger shrimp to soften them before feeding.
