Xtreme Aquatic Foods Shrimpee Sinking Sticks Fish Food for Shrimp, 3 oz, 3mm, sinking

One 3 oz pack holds sinking sticks that measure 3 mm across. Grain products, marine protein products and plant protein products are among the ingredients, along with soy lecithin, ground limestone, fish oil, dicalcium phosphate and calcium propionate. The sticks are formulated for freshwater shrimp and are also suitable for snails, cory and loaches.

Sinking sticks that keep their shape

At 3 mm across, the sticks fall to the bottom quickly instead of drifting, so shrimp and other scavengers can graze where they prefer to feed. The sticks hold their shape in water, which keeps the food intact while it sits on the substrate.

The 3 oz pack is intended as a daily staple, and Vitality Pak is listed as a special ingredient. The sticks carry the sinking stick form that bottom-dwelling fish can find on the substrate.

Does this food fit your aquarium?

Check the water type on the label: the manufacturer formulates this food for freshwater shrimp. If you keep marine shrimp, the food is not described for that setup.

The 3 mm stick size is worth matching against the mouths of the fish you feed. Shrimp, snails, cory and loaches are the inhabitants the manufacturer names, and a 3 oz pack is the single pack size in this listing.
