Description

Freshwater Shrimp Pond Fish Treats (Gammarus pulex)

An EXCELLENT natural food for great colours, skin and growth. HIGH nutritional value and easily digestible protein which dramatically improves the koi’s internal system. The Red Gammarus Pulex freshwater shrimp is an ideal supplement to your daily koi feed. They are high in digestible protein and carotene (vitamin A and its provitamins) which stimulate the natural digestive process in koi. They contain a natural colour enhancer and have a high nutritional value. Gammarus Pulex are only found in the cleanest, most unpolluted waters in the world. These particular shrimps are selected and harvested from the clearest streams in the Arctic. They cannot survive in any type of polluted water and so are very healthy and clean food for your koi. It is best to feed the shrimps just before your normal koi food, as it will stimulate the digestive process enormously – it will also boost their vitality and colours.

We often recommend feeding dried gammarus shrimps as a treat, alongside good quality koi food, especially during the summer months when the fish are feeding actively.

This treat is also suitable for a number of larger tropical species of fish such as Parrot Cichlids, Severums, Jack Dempseys and other larger fish, as well as Turtles, Rodents and Birds. If feeding Gammarus pulex to species that won’t feed from the surface, soak the shrimp in warm water and once softened, squeeze them when they’re added to the aquarium to push any air out and they’ll soon sink.
