Snowflake shrimp food is a favourite among shrimp keepers, made from soybean hulls. These hulls—the outer shells of soybeans—are removed before processing and compressed into pellets, creating a convenient and nutritious food source for shrimp.

SNOW is 100% organic, 100% soybean hull pellets, 100% sourced in Canada and 100% shrimp safe (I feed them to my own shrimp!).

Nutritional Value: While not high in protein, snowflake food is rich in fiber and contains various minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. It serves as a nutritious supplement to a varied shrimp diet.

Encourages Natural Grazing: Snowflake food expands when submerged, allowing shrimp to graze naturally. This mimics their natural feeding behaviour, as they can pick at the soft flakes over time.

Supports Biofilm Growth: As snowflake food breaks down, it promotes the development of a biofilm containing beneficial mycelial fungi. This biofilm serves as an additional nutritious food source for shrimp.

Minimal Water Pollution: Unlike some foods, snowflake food releases minimal pollutants, making it a safe choice for aquariums. It can remain in the tank for extended periods without degrading water quality.

Ideal Vacation Food: Thanks to its slow breakdown, snowflake food is perfect for keeping shrimp fed while you’re away. It provides sustenance for several days without compromising water conditions.

For a 5 to 10 gallon tank with 20 to 30 adult shrimp, start with 1-2 pellets. Two to three times per week is typically sufficient when using snowflake food as part of a varied diet. If all the food is consumed within 1 hour, you can slightly increase the amount next time by 25%. If the food remains after 3 hours, reduce the amount by about 25% for the next feeding.
