Shrimp Fit

Shrimp seems to like it but only needs to feed less than a scoop

I have a 5-gal planted tank with cherry shrimp, ramshorn snails, and two pygmy cories. I was having problems with shrimp survival. I was feeding them sinking pellets, and even though they ate well, something was wrong. Adults would slowly die off. A few would have babies successfully, then die. The babies would grow, then start to die off. My colony wasn't thriving. All the water parameters were great, I had a consistent weekly cleaning and water change routine, and the aquarium had been established for over six months. I'm experienced in the hobby, so I wasn't killing the shrimp in any of the standard novice ways.I started using GlasGarten Bacter AE, Shrimp Fit, Mineral Junkie Pearls, and Shrimp Baby about a year ago, and now I have a thriving colony that's always reproducing, growing, and surviving. It went from 15 adults to 70+ cherries of varying ages in that time. Here's my feeding regimen:Days 1 & 4: Bacter AE, Hikari Shrimp Cuisine pelletsDays 2 & 5: Shrimp Fit, Mineral Junkie PearlsDays 3 & 6: Shrimp Baby, NLS AlgaeMax pelletsDay 7: water change, no foodA little goes a long way with the powder foods. I dose 1/64 tsp, which is way less than the scoop that comes with the foods. I always have berried females and thriving shrimplets. Now I have so many shrimp that I moved some into my 55-gal aquarium. The four GlasGarten products I use work well together, and I highly recommend them.

Excited to try out this product line.

This is a great shrimp food that disperses through the entire tank so all shrimp can feed. That said, use about half the recommended amount, and for best results I turn my pump off for about 20 min to let it all settle instead of getting blown around and filtered out. I put it in a small cup, add some aquarium water and swirl it around before pouring it in. I feed this as shrimp fit from the same company 4 times a week, and a couple of sinking foods on other days.

My shrimp love this

I'm not sure if this really is necessary or if I am seeing any improvements on the health of my neos. Quality company and too many people swear by it. I'm not really a sheep person that follows what others do, but in this case I'll defer to the experts and keep using.

I recently got this because my shrimp were starting to die off, and was having a hard time molting. The day this came in, I had a shrimp going through a bad molt in an observation cage. It was very lethargic and laying on it's back, unable to eat. I put this in the tank, and the next day the shrimp was swimming around, fighting off the molt. The day after that, it was back to normal. I also bought the mineral junkie food, but they don't seem to have much interest yet. ShrimpFit is a MUST HAVE.

Very fine crush, but shrimp and snails seem to love it.
