Shirakura White Mineral Powder
Mineral powder for health and colour enhancement
Shirakura White Mineral Powder is a mixture of substances, and is used for both health and colour enhancement. It includes calcium carbonate, which prevents moulting problems and promotes healthy shells.
Proteins, which are responsible for the bright, clear white stripes of the bee shrimps as well as the natural colorant Astaxanthin, which is extracted from a type-f algae and is responsible for the shrimps' bright red, and several different minerals, vitamins and micronutrients. This powder is also recommended for shrimp fry, since the cells responsible for the shrimp's colour can only develop properly when the shrimps receive all these nutrients from the onset. Only then will their colour remain just as bright until an advanced age.
Usage
For a 60 L (16 gal) aquarium, onelevel spoonfull* of White Mineral Powder onto the water surface every three to four days, distributing evenly. The particles will sink to the substrate and can then be ingested by the shrimps. Dosage varies with stock levels.
