Dennerle Shrimp King - Color - Color Food for Shrimp

Food granules for targeted color enhancement for all yellow, orange and red shrimp species. With a high content of natural color enhancers such as astaxanthin, beta-carotene and lutein. Shrimp King Color is a sinkable, water-stable food granule made from 100% natural ingredients for the natural color enhancement of freshwater dwarf shrimp. Yellow, orange and red shrimp cannot produce the pigments that give them their attractive body coloring themselves, but must ingest them with food. These pigments, known as carotenoids, are mainly found in algae, flowers, fruits and leafy vegetables. Shrimp and crabs convert carotenoids into their own pigments, particularly astaxanthin, which forms a molecular bond with the protein beta-crustacyanin. These molecular bonds are stored in special color cells and give the shrimp the species-specific coloring. The situation with shrimp is similar to that of the well-known pink flamingos: if these birds eat small, carotenoid-rich crustaceans such as brine shrimp, their plumage turns pink due to the carotenoids or astaxanthin they contain. If, on the other hand, their food does not contain any natural coloring, they lose their natural coloring and turn white. Shrimp King Color contains plenty of natural coloring from a wide range of high-quality ingredients, e.g. microalgae, crustaceans, marigold flowers, peppers, carrots and decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. If fed regularly, it provides the perfect basis for the full development of the species-specific coloring. Shrimp King Color is particularly 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 feeders serve as carrier substances for the natural color enhancers. They ensure balanced growth. Vitamins and vital substances from various types of algae and vegetables serve as a functioning metabolism and strong immune system.
