Shrimp Glass Feeding Tube 30cm

In nature, these shrimp feed mainly on algae growth and biofilms, but also on detritus, plant remains, dead insects, insect larvae and the like. Varied feeding improves the vitality of the shrimp. Young shrimp in particular need food of an appropriate particle size. Unfortunately, fine-grained food, such as dust- or wet food, tends to seep into coarser soil. There is a risk, that decomposing food residues will emit pollutants dangerous to the shrimp.

This problem is resolved by placing of a feed tray in the shrimp tank. This feed tray is made of glass. The high edge prevents food particles from spilling over and sinking into the ground. Remaining food leftovers can also be easily syphoned off with a hose. The shrimp get used to their fixed feeding place quite quickly, but it can be placed in other spots from time to time, without problem.

The Shrimp Glass Feeding Tube that comes with this feeding dish is 30cm long and enables food to be placed accurately into the dish without getting your hands wet. The lower end of the feeding tube is placed over the feed tray. Food is filled into the funnel-like upper end, which will sink through the tube directly into the tray.

The Shrimp Glass Feeding Tube with feeding dish is particularly convenient when adding wet food, which would otherwise spread quickly in the water. But also other feeds, offered as granules or sticks can easily be given using the combination of feeding tube and feed tray.

After placing the food, you just take the tube out of the aquarium again.
