GlasGarten Shrimp Dinner 2 is a daily main food for ornamental freshwater shrimp. It is supplied as pads that remain stable in the water while the shrimp feed. The 35 g and 70 g options contain different quantities of the same product.
Feeding your colony
The manufacturer’s current recommendation is to feed once or twice daily, offering the amount the shrimp consume within a few hours. Observe the colony’s appetite and follow the directions on your container. An older recommendation of one pad per approximately 25 shrimp should not override the instructions for the formula in your package.
Composition
The current manufacturer’s composition lists algae (chlorella, spirulina and kelp), spinach, molluscs and crustaceans, vegetable protein extracts, cereals, minerals, nettle, walnut leaves, yeast extract, herbs and fennel. Recipes can change, so consult the package ingredient list for the food supplied.
The formula combines plant ingredients with animal and vegetable protein sources. Chlorella provides a range of nutrients; the table below gives reference information for that ingredient. It is not a guaranteed analysis of the finished Shrimp Dinner 2 food. The food is intended to support normal development, growth and moulting through nutrition, without guaranteeing a particular colour or breeding result.

Choosing the package
Choose 35 g or 70 g according to the amount of food you need. GlasGarten Shrimp Dinner 2 is a prepared main food; it has a different role from biofilm supplements or mineral pieces left in the aquarium. Use the feeding response of your own colony to guide the amount offered at each meal.
