Shrimps form a very large group that have developed very different feeding strategies. Very peaceful fan shrimp (Atya) filter plankton particles from the water with their fan-like legs. Clawed shrimps (Macrobrachium) live as predators, also eating other shrimps. Most Caridina and Neocaridina species are peaceful and pick algae and tiny particles from the ground with their mouthparts. In Sulawesi's lakes, shrimp species exist that have adapted to the very unusual habitats. The pretty little cardinal shrimps (Caridina dennerli) eat growth, but only in the immediate vicinity of their shelter. Bee shrimps use their sense of smell to search for and find their food and will even walk through half the aquarium to do so. Cardinal shrimps don’t do this and need to have the JBL PRONOVO SHRIMPS fed right in front of their nose. The wafers of JBL PRONOVO CRABS are more suitable for clawed shrimps (Macrobrachium). Firstly because of the composition and secondly because of the shape, which they can grip better with their claws.

JBL PRONOVO food is prebiotic
Scientists are agreed that prebiotic food promotes digestion and thus health. In the case of shrimps there is another important aspect: with better digestion, less is excreted and the water is thus less polluted, causing fewer algae problems and keeping the water cleaner.

Ahead through research
The results of JBL research expeditions, together with the knowledge of the JBL research and development team, have produced optimal, balanced food mixtures made from high-quality ingredients.

• Complete nutrition with extra nettles for beautiful colours and healthy growth in shrimps
• High-quality, natural carotene (astaxanthin) from spirulina algae ensures beautiful colour formation in bee shrimps for example
• Ideally balanced ratio of animal and vegetable proteins for healthy growth and trouble-free moulting
• Prebiotic & sinking shrimp food: dedicated dietary fibres in the food supply the beneficial intestinal bacteria with food for healthy digestion
• Package contents: original sealed, air- and light-tight, recyclable tin with dosing aid in the lid
