Shrimp King Color 35g

Dennerle Shrimp King Color is a sinkable, water-stable food granule made from 100% natural ingredients to provide the natural colour enhancement of freshwater dwarf shrimp.

Yellow, orange and red shrimp cannot produce the pigments that cause their attractive body coloration themselves, but must ingest them with their food. These pigments, known as carotenoids, are mainly found in algae, flowers, fruits or leafy vegetables. Shrimps and crabs convert carotenoids into their own colourants, especially astaxanthin, which forms a molecular compound with the protein beta-crustacyanin. These molecular compounds are stored in special colour cells and result in the species-specific coloration of shrimp. The situation with shrimp is similar to that of the well-known pink flamingos: if these birds eat small, carotenoid-rich crustaceans such as artemia, their plumage turns pink due to the carotenoids or astaxanthin they contain. If, on the other hand, their food does not contain natural colorants, then they lose their natural colouration and turn white.

Shrimp King Color contains abundant natural colourants from a wide range of high quality ingredients, e.g. microalgae, crustaceans, marigold flowers, peppers, carrots and decapsulated Artemia eggs. When fed regularly, it provides the perfect basis for the full development of species-specific colouration.

Shrimp King Color is especially suitable for the following species: Red Fire, Sakura Red, Sakura Orange, Blue Pearls, Yellow Fire, Black Tiger Shrimp and Blue Tiger Shrimp. High quality proteins and essential amino acids from aquatic food animals serve as carrier substances of the natural colour enhancers. They ensure balanced growth. Vitamins and vital substances from various algae and vegetables serve as "lubricants" for a functioning metabolism and strong defences.
