Questions & Answers

Answered by real pet keeping experience.

Q How many tablets should I feed, and how often?
Feed one tablet per ten shrimp every two to three days, alongside your regular feeding routine. Each one sinks on contact and holds its shape for hours, so your colony grazes it slowly instead of racing a crumbling wafer. Pull any uneaten tablet after 24 hours to keep your water clean.
Q Is it safe for my snails, community fish, and planted tank?
Yes. One tablet is safe for neocaridina and caridina shrimp, mystery, nerite, ramshorn, and rabbit snails, plecos, and every other freshwater invertebrate — plus the fish sharing the tank. It works the same in a dedicated shrimp tank, a community aquarium, or a heavily planted setup, with no risk to the other inhabitants.
Q Why do my shrimp and snails need extra calcium?
Calcium is what a molting shrimp rebuilds its shell with, and what a snail needs for an actively growing shell — and it's the most overlooked gap in the hobby. Most tap water and remineralized RO water simply doesn't carry enough dissolved calcium to keep up with a breeding colony. Shrimp Bites deliver high-bioavailability calcium paired with phosphorus, real egg protein, chlorella, and a full vitamin and mineral profile that covers every stage from juvenile growth to molt recovery.
Q My shrimp keep failing molts and dying for no reason — will this help?
Failed molts, soft shells, dull coloration, and slow unexplained losses are the classic signs of a calcium shortfall, and they're easy to misread as disease or a water-quality issue because they creep in gradually. If your parameters check out but your colony still struggles, a dietary calcium gap is one of the first things to rule out — and that's exactly what Shrimp Bites are built to fix, at the source instead of chasing symptoms.
Q Will this change my pH, GH, or KH?
No. Shrimp Bites do not affect pH, KH, or GH — they solve calcium at the dietary level, where your shrimp actually use it, instead of dosing it into the water column. You can supplement calcium without touching the parameters you've already dialed in, which is why they pair cleanly with a remineralizer rather than competing with it.
Q Will it cloud my water, float, or leave a mess?
No. Because each tablet is baked and dehydrated rather than pressed from powder, it sinks immediately, stays put, and releases its nutrients slowly right where your bottom feeders live. No cloudiness, no residue, nothing floating back to the surface — you drop one in and walk away.
Q What flavors do you offer?
Shrimp Bites come in more than one variety, each built on the same high-calcium base — a Chlorella superfood blend and a Bee Pollen blend — so you can rotate what you feed and give your colony a wider nutrient spread across the week.

Each tablet is baked and dehydrated rather than pressed from powder, which gives it the structural integrity to sink immediately, hold its shape for hours, and release nutrients slowly at the bottom of the tank where shrimp, snails, and bottom feeders are actually spending their time. Compatible with neocaridina shrimp, caridina shrimp, mystery snails, nerite snails, ramshorn snails, rabbit snails, plecos, and all freshwater invertebrates. Works in dedicated shrimp tanks, community aquariums, and planted tanks without any risk to the other inhabitants. Drop one tablet in and walk away — there is no cloudiness, no residue, and nothing floating back up to the surface.

Calcium deficiency is the most common and most overlooked problem in freshwater invertebrate keeping. Most tap water and remineralized RO water does not contain enough dissolved calcium to meet the ongoing demands of a molting shrimp colony or a snail with an actively growing shell. The signs — failed molts, soft shells, poor coloration, and unexplained deaths — appear gradually and are easy to misread as a water quality or disease problem. Shrimp Bites solve it at the dietary level with high-bioavailability calcium paired with phosphorus, real egg protein, chlorella, and a full vitamin and mineral profile that supports every stage of the shrimp's life cycle from juvenile growth through breeding and molt recovery.

Feed one tablet per ten shrimp every two to three days as a dietary supplement alongside your regular feeding routine. Remove any uneaten tablet after 24 hours to maintain water quality. Store in a cool dry place with the container sealed between feedings. Safe for all freshwater fish, shrimp, snails, and invertebrates. Does not affect pH, KH, or GH. Freshwater use only.
