Providing a varied diet for your shrimp is very important and these dried mulberry leaves are one of the most beneficial foods you can give to your dwarf shrimp. They are specifically prepared for aquatic use and are free from any other unwanted organisms.

Dried leaves offer a surface so that a biofilm can quickly populate. Shrimps love to graze on the biofilm, which is highly beneficial for adult shrimps as well as baby shrimps. Biofilm help provide a balanced diet with a mix of proteins, and vitamins, and are extremely important in building the shrimp's immune system, so these are a necessity for baby shrimps .

When you place the dried mulberry leaves into your tank, they soften quickly allowing the shrimp to eat the leaf right down to the skeleton. Shrimp appetite is at its maximum post molting and will decrease pre-molting. This leaf provides the essential nutrients for keeping your shrimp exoskeleton healthy and ready for molting, which can occur every three to eight weeks. .

These "dead leaves" also contain tannins which leach into the water simulating the shrimp natural black-water habitat. So if they make your water darker, it's nothing to be worried about. It means they are releasing the healthy tannins for shrimps. They help promote good health and color, stimulate breeding, reduce stress and aid in the molting process. So, whether you own red cherry shrimp, Amano shrimp, bee shrimp, ghost shrimp or all of the above; these dried mulberry leaves will have your shrimp population thriving and flourishing from all the amazing benefits of this excellent natural food source.
