My shrimp loved eating these, they weren't rather picky. Great bite sized food, can be easily cut when needed. The pellet itself is pretty soft, easier for the shrimp to eat up quickly. Nice resealable bag.

The shrimp immediately went to the food as soon as I dropped it in the tank. The package is a bit small but there is a lot of pieces in it. It is high quality shrimp food for a great price.

The food is about 1cm by 0.5cm. Some pieces are a bit bigger.The shrimp in my 1 Opae Ula loved it and swarmed it within 30 min. I would guess there's about 30-50 shrimp in this 3 gallon tank that has no filtration. By the morning there was probably about half, mass wise, still left; it was much squishier since it has taken on water. The other 3 gallon Opae Ula tank was less interested, there was about the same amount left; this tank has similar populations. So it might be a hit n miss for shrimp. I did have to take out both pieces from each tank in the morning. These pieces are easy enough to cut, so if you have a shrimp only tank, you might want to cut them smaller.My Mystery Snail bee lined to it and may have eaten the chunk all by herself (ignored the zucchini). The 1 piece was gone by the morning. Other inhabitants in this tank are: another Mystery Snail, 4-5 ghost shrimp, a betta and 4 cory. So, any one of them could have eaten it.I think this is a nice change of pace in comparison to the other foods I have. I have shrimp pellets and algae wafers but this is the only one with spirulina as the first ingredient.

I've fed my shrimp and snails a few times with these, and each time they absolutely climb over each other to get at it. Even the danios seem a bit interested in them. (Heck, even my dog! Not that he got any.) They're soft little pellets so they're easy to break into little chunks. I divide one into fourths to add across my tanks. Too soon to tell if they're making for healthier shrimps, but the fact that they're excited over this food versus what I was previously giving them makes me happy. Will definitely be resupplying once I run out.Update: Seems like these pellets will affect water quality. I was so proud of this tank as it was my first and the water has been consistently clear for 9 months. After a few days of using these pellets I woke up to murky water. I don’t think this is bad food, but caution how much and how frequent.

I feed the NatureHolic Mainfeed to my Neocaridina. Where the bar fell my shrimp scatters away from it. After a day, the bar breaks down. It looks like slime, and a day later, hair algae grow from it. I have a bamboo shrimp that was eating it and it died. When it did, the slime was covering the body of the bamboo shrimp. Whatever was used to create this feed wasn't done correctly. It killed my pet, I'm heartbroken and it wasn't worth it.

So I can't speak much to the quality of ingredients or the nutrient value of this item, I'm just not well versed enough in shrimp nutrition to be able to - but I can definitely speak to my cherry shrimp noticing pretty quickly the presence of this food in their tank, seeking it out and then absolutely going to town on it until it disappeared - which is definitely interesting as they usually don't even notice when I put the other food I've purchased for them from the pet store, and only seem to find it much later by chance. That said, I would be wary not to over feed your shrimp with this item as it seems like it would be pretty easy to do, I think as far as price goes, this is basically fair considering that shrimp food usually does come in a rather small quantity for this price ($10), this about like what you'd find size wise for a little bag of shrimp food at a pet store, I wish it was a bit more but, honestly if it was it might just go bad before they get the chance to eat it as they really don't need much.

I recently got shrimp along with an assortment of foods for them to try, and this is one of their favorites! The little guys go nuts for this stuff! I also think the color is really fun as the Pellets are bright blue, so its neat watching them get fed. The shrimp all seem to be pretty vibrant with switching to this food too.

Honestly, I haven't found anything that my shrimp and snail don't eat. I put a few wafers in the front of the tank where I like to watch and then sprinkle these around so all the shrimp can get to them while the snails devour the wafers. It's a good size pellet and works well to mix with my tiny pellets and wafers.
