Live River Shrimp – 250ml

Live Prey for Larger Predatory Fish

Live River Shrimp provide larger predatory fish with an active, natural live food that encourages them to hunt and feed as they would in the wild.

Significantly larger than foods such as copepods, brine shrimp and mysis, River Shrimp are particularly suited to appropriately sized predatory marine fish that naturally feed on crustaceans and other moving prey.

Encourage Natural Hunting Behaviour

Few things generate a feeding response quite like live prey.

Once introduced into the aquarium, River Shrimp actively move around the system, stimulating the natural hunting instincts of predatory fish and creating a much more engaging feeding experience.

This makes them an excellent way to introduce both dietary variety and behavioural enrichment into the feeding routine of suitable predators.

Ideal for Predatory Marine Fish

Live River Shrimp can be particularly attractive to larger predatory species including:

• Lionfish
• Groupers
• Puffers
• Frogfish and other suitable predatory marine fish

Always select live food of an appropriate size for the individual fish being fed.

Useful for Selective Feeders

Predatory fish can sometimes be reluctant to recognise frozen or prepared foods, particularly when newly introduced into an aquarium.

The natural movement of Live River Shrimp can trigger a strong feeding response, making them particularly useful when trying to encourage a shy or selective predator to begin feeding.

Where appropriate, live food can also form part of a gradual transition towards accepting suitable frozen and prepared foods.

Nutritious Live Food

River Shrimp provide a naturally protein-rich crustacean food source.

As with our other live foods, we recommend using them as part of a varied feeding regime rather than relying on one food exclusively. Providing different appropriate foods helps create greater dietary variety for your fish.

Feeding

Introduce an appropriate number of River Shrimp according to the size and feeding requirements of your fish.

Where practical, separate the shrimp from their transport water before introducing them to the aquarium.

Observe feeding and avoid adding unnecessary quantities that will remain uneaten within the aquarium.

For longer-term feeding, River Shrimp should form part of a varied diet containing other suitable foods appropriate to the species being kept.
