GlasGarten Mineral Hearts, 8 pieces

GlasGarten Mineral Hearts provide a lasting source of minerals for ornamental shrimp, snails, crayfish and crabs in aquarium or terrarium applications. Place a heart in the aquarium so the animals can graze on it. Minerals are also released gradually into the surrounding water.

Complementary mineral nutrition

The product is intended to support moulting and shell condition. The product information also describes a contribution to the microbiology of the filter and substrate. Mineral Hearts are a supplementary food, so their role should remain distinct from the regular staple diet.

• Pack contents: 8 hearts, approximately 6.7 g.
• Natural ingredients with a mineral base.
• For shrimp, snails, crayfish and crabs.
• Can remain until consumed or dissolved as directed.

Feeding and water parameters

The manufacturer’s current guide is one Mineral Heart per approximately 10–20 L. Follow the label supplied with your pack. A heart should normally remain for several days; if consumed much faster, review the regular staple feeding rather than relying only on mineral food.

General hardness and conductivity may increase as minerals dissolve. Account for that effect in the aquarium’s water-care routine. The product may be used as a longer-lasting feeding supplement, including the holiday-feeding role mentioned in the source, but that does not establish a complete feeding plan for every aquarium.

Composition

The pack information lists minerals (97%), Chlorella algae, peppers, Asian cabbage, squid and fennel. Check the current package ingredient list if the formulation is important to your selection.

Replace spent pieces as directed and observe consumption. Consult GlasGarten’s Mineral Food guidance for current feeding information and the differences between hearts, cubes and leaf shapes.
