It also supports the growth and development of microorganisms (zooplankton) the invisible microbes which dispose of food residues and excrements and are an important part of the baby shrimps' diet.

How popular and important this is for the shrimps can be witnessed if you carefully dig up the substrate with your hand. It often only takes a few seconds until the shrimps will gather in exactly this spot to cover their need for animal proteins by eating the zooplankton and other microbes. It is recommended to regularly feed Chi Ebi (Please also see feeding recommendations).

Usage:

60 cm (24 inch) aquarium: 1 level spoon* every second day

100 cm (39.5 inch) aquarium: 1 heaped spoon* every second day

Vary depending on how many animals the aquarium houses

* Spoon included

Shrimps are omnivores and as such, they also need animal proteins which are microorganisms and microbes in the found in the substrate. In order to grant sufficient supplies of such microbes, Takayuki Shirakura developed the rearing feed Chi Ebi. Chi Ebi serves as a nutrition basis not only for shrimp fry but also for microorganisms and thus support a healthy development of the population. These microorganisms dispose of feed residues and shrimp excrement which lie deeper down the substrate. If food residues and excrements are not removed, shrimps may die from the evolving poisonous substances. Shrimp fry are particularly at risk. This is the reason why Ebi Dama feed by Shirakura has a very firm consistency. It will not fall apart during feeding and sink into the substrate unused.

In relatively newly set-up aquariums in which the substrate is not yet sufficiently active, it is recommended to add high-quality feed, for example brine shrimp, once a week. It is also recommended to use Chi Ebi - rearing feed from the very beginning since it significantly accelerates the growth of the important microorganisms and microbes.

Usage

Feed Ebi Dama twice a day, twice a week in small amounts, but only as much as the shrimp can eat within one or two hours. Once the shrimp are full, leftovers should be removed from the aquarium.

Unlike regular Ebi Dama, Ebi Dama Special also contains wild cabbage, several types of sea algae and is high in calcium.

Main ingredients:

Kale, various kinds of seaweed, spirulina, chlorella, natural vitamins and minerals, calcium enriched.
