GlasGarten Shrimp Baby Food Powder for Young Shrimp, 300 ppm Astaxanthin

GlasGarten Shrimp Baby Food is a complete powdered rearing food for ornamental shrimp, made to nourish young shrimp after their first molt and containing 300 ppm astaxanthin.

• Full extrudate and 100% conglomerated powder — processed for high digestibility and nutrient bioavailability.
• Protein, essential amino acids, zooplankton and Omega 3 fatty acids — provide a broad nutritional base for young shrimp.
• Red coralline algae concentrate with over 50 minerals and trace elements — supplies a range of micronutrients.
• Microgranules spread as a fine layer over aquarium surfaces — food reaches young shrimp that tend to stay near where they hatched.
• Digestible carbohydrates and polyunsaturated fatty acids — provide energy associated with molting.
• Astaxanthin at 300 ppm — supports colour pigment development, particularly in red, yellow and orange shrimp.

Newly hatched shrimp rely on the nutrients in their yolk sac until their first molt; after that, they need food within reach while they are still relatively inactive. This fine powdered food is made for ornamental shrimp breeding and rearing, with nutrients from animal, plant and algae sources.

What nutrients does Shrimp Baby Food provide?

GlasGarten Shrimp Baby Food combines protein and essential amino acids with zooplankton, natural vitamins, minerals and Omega 3 fatty acids. These ingredients provide nutrition for healthy growth and energy. Carefully selected algae, vegetables and herbs contribute micronutrients, while a multivitamin mixture supplies vitamins for the young shrimp’s diet.

• Protein and amino acids form the core of its growth-focused nutrient profile.
• Natural vitamins and a multivitamin mixture add a range of vitamins.
• Algae, vegetables and herbs provide additional micronutrients.

How does the food reach newly feeding shrimp?

The powder’s microgranules form a fine, film-like coating on surfaces in the tank. Young shrimp are often sessile at this stage, meaning they tend to remain close to where they hatched, so food spread across aquarium surfaces can be accessible without relying on the shrimp to travel to a single feeding spot.

• The powder is designed to distribute across tank surfaces.
• Its surface coverage suits the early, less mobile stage after the first molt.

What in the recipe supports molting and the carapace?

Digestible carbohydrates and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) provide energy for molting. The recipe also includes green-lipped mussels, a source of glycosaminoglycans that contribute a valuable component of the shrimp carapace. A concentrate of red coralline algae supplies minerals and trace elements, including more than 50 different kinds.

• PUFA and digestible carbohydrates contribute energy for the molting process.
• Green-lipped mussels supply glycosaminoglycans associated with the carapace.
• Red coralline algae concentrate adds a broad range of minerals and trace elements.

Can this food support shrimp colour development?

GlasGarten Shrimp Baby Food contains 300 ppm astaxanthin, which supports the development of colour pigment cells, especially in red, yellow and orange shrimp. This ingredient is included from the early feeding stage, so young shrimp may develop vivid coloration as they grow.

• Astaxanthin is the specific pigment-related ingredient in the formula.
• Colour development may be particularly relevant for red, yellow and orange shrimp.

GlasGarten Shrimp Baby Food is suited to shrimp keepers raising ornamental shrimp who want a complete powdered food for feeding after the first molt. Its surface-spreading microgranules are made for young shrimp that remain close to their hatching place, while the formula brings together animal, plant and algae-derived nutrients. It is a rearing food built around accessible feeding and a broad range of growth-related nutrients.
