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.
