{"product_id":"invert-aquatics-sinking-crab-crayfish-food","title":"Invert Aquatics Sinking Blended Diet Fish Food for Crabs and Crayfish, 1.5 oz (42.5 g), sinking","description":"\u003cp\u003ePellets and sticks make up this sinking blended diet for crabs and crayfish, so portions travel down through the tank rather than resting on the surface. The bag weighs 1.5 oz (42.5 g). Spirulina is part of the recipe, and the blend carries added vitamin E, D3 and B12. Invert Aquatics names four animals it is intended for: crayfish, red claw crabs, miniature lobsters and fiddler crabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes into the sticks and the pellets\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sticks are a long list of ingredients: dehulled soybean meal, fish meal and corn gluten meal, followed by wheat flour, dehydrated alfalfa meal and fish oil. Grain distillers dried yeast, spirulina and soy lecithin are also in the sticks, along with shrimp meal, monosodium phosphate and krill meal. Calcium propionate and choline chloride appear on the list as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamins in the sticks come as vitamin A acetate, a vitamin D3 supplement and DL-alpha tocopheryl acetate, plus a vitamin E supplement and a vitamin B12 supplement. The pellets combine processed poultry by-products, marine protein and oil products, and processed grain and vegetable products, with vitamins that include stable vitamin C, and minerals. The sticks list minimum protein at 45%, minimum fibre at 4%, minimum fat at 7% and minimum moisture at 12%; the pellets list crude protein at a minimum of 40%, crude fat at a minimum of 10% and crude fibre at a maximum of 4.0%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich aquarium animals the blend suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInvert Aquatics lists crayfish, fiddler crabs, red claw crabs and miniature lobsters as the intended animals. Shrimp, snails and other bottom feeders eat it too, so a single bag covers a mixed bottom-dwelling group. The diet is a blend of pellets and sticks rather than a single form, and the same food is also offered in 3 oz and 9 oz bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow do you feed a sinking pellet and stick blend?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffer only as much as your aquatic pets can finish within a few minutes. Any food left uneaten should be taken out, which the manufacturer ties to keeping the aquarium water clean. Because the pellets and sticks sink, they reach the bottom feeders that eat them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage after the bag is opened\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove uneaten food from the aquarium after each feeding.
