This top-of-the-line invertebrate food is made from vegetable matter and spirulina algae. It consists of over 43% protein and is the very same invertebrate food that we feed to all of our shrimp, snails, and crayfish. It is formulated to provide optimum nutrition for the faster growth and breeding of invertebrates, and it is fortified with calcium for healthy exoskeleton growth. This "general purpose" invertebrate food can be given to shrimp, snails, and crayfish, although it should be supplemented with other foods since it is not nutritionally complete for all species.

This is enough food to feed up to 10 to 15 shrimp, 1 or 2 crayfish, or 10 to 15 snails for 6 months or longer.

Feeding Suggestions:

Feed enough for fish to eat in a minute and snails to eat in 2 hours, 1-3 times daily and modify servings as needed.

For the safety of our animals, we only ship live fish, crabs, and select other inverts exclusively via UPS 1 Day Air. If your order contains this item, you will only see UPS 1 Day Air as a shipping option during checkout. If other items are in your cart that can ship with 2 day or standard shipping options the only shipping method you can still select is UPS 1 Day Air.

UPS 1 Day is a description of the duration of time a shipment will spend in transit once it has been shipped. This does not guarantee the package will be shipped the same or next day from which the order was placed.

Shipping Schedule for this service

UPS 1 Day: Monday through Thursday

Current Handling Time:

1-9 business days

Here at Aquatic Arts, we consider the welfare of the live animals we are shipping to be of the foremost importance. This process is much more involved than simply creating a shipping label and affixing it to a box. Depending on the order, it takes from 4 to 7 people to complete this process properly. We check the weather conditions here where they fly out of the Indianapolis UPS facility and the destination for each shipment. We start early each morning and go through a multi-step process to have the day's shipments prepared in time for the UPS pickup. The volume of orders in our system also affects the processing time. Therefore our stated handling time is 1-9 business days.

Shipping Rate

Pricing is by size of package needed to fill entire order and distance it must travel. It will be calculated at checkout.
