Complete Daily Staple Food for Freshwater Dwarf Shrimp, Crayfish, and Snails
Dennerle Shrimp King Complete is the daily staple food in the Shrimp King line, formulated to deliver everything freshwater dwarf shrimp need for healthy, balanced nutrition in a single food stick. While targeted supplements like Shrimp King Color or Shrimp King Mineral address specific needs, Complete is designed to serve as the dietary foundation — the food that goes in every day and covers the full nutritional spectrum.
Each food stick is sinkable and water-stable, settling to the substrate where shrimp, crayfish, dwarf crayfish (CPOs), crabs, and snails can graze naturally. The formula draws on proteins and essential amino acids from aquatic food animals for balanced growth, dietary fiber from broadleaf leaves and tree bark for healthy digestion, and beta-glucan from yeasts to support the body's own immune defenses. Natural carotenoids are included to promote the full development of species-specific coloration alongside a dedicated color food. It is made in Germany from 100% natural ingredients and contains no artificial colors, preservatives, or fish meal.
Key Features:
- Complete daily staple food for freshwater dwarf shrimp; covers the full nutritional spectrum in a single stick
- High-quality proteins and essential amino acids from aquatic food animals support balanced growth
- Dietary fiber from broadleaf leaves and tree bark supports healthy digestion
- Beta-glucan from yeasts supports the body's own immune defenses
- Natural carotenoids promote species-specific coloration as part of a complete diet
- Sinkable, water-stable food stick; made in Germany from 100% natural ingredients
- No artificial colors, preservatives, or fish meal
- Also suitable for crayfish, dwarf crayfish (CPOs), crabs, and snails
- Feeding rate: approximately 5mm stick per 20 shrimp; remove uneaten food after 24 hours
Ideal For:
- Neocaridina and Caridina shrimp keepers looking for a single complete staple food that covers daily nutritional requirements without needing to manage multiple primary feeds
- Hobbyists building a targeted supplemental feeding rotation using other Shrimp King products, who need a reliable complete base food
- Community freshwater tanks that also include crayfish, CPOs, crabs, or snails alongside shrimp
Pro Tips:
- Use Shrimp King Complete as the daily base and rotate supplements around it. Complete covers daily nutritional needs, but the Shrimp King line is designed as a system. Rotating in Shrimp King Color for color enhancement, Shrimp King Mineral for molting support, and Shrimp King Protein during egg-bearing periods produces better results than any single food alone.
- Size portions carefully and remove uneaten food at 24 hours. The recommended dose is approximately 5mm of stick per 20 shrimp. Leftover food degrades water quality in a shrimp tank faster than in most fish tanks due to lower flow and bioload. If food consistently remains after 24 hours, reduce the dose.
- Drop the stick near a flat surface or feeding area. Shrimp King Complete sinks and stays stable on the substrate. Placing it on a flat stone or feeding dish makes it easier to remove uneaten portions cleanly and lets you observe feeding behavior to confirm dosing is appropriate.
- Watch grazing behavior, not just shrimp count, to gauge portion size. A well-dosed tank will have shrimp actively grazing the stick until it is consumed. If the stick disappears very quickly with shrimp competing aggressively, a slight dose increase may be appropriate.

Instructions:
- Break or cut approximately 5mm of a food stick per 20 shrimp in your aquarium.
- Place the stick directly on the substrate or on a flat feeding surface such as a stone or feeding dish.
- The stick will sink and remain stable, allowing shrimp, crayfish, crabs, and snails to graze naturally.
- Remove any uneaten food after 24 hours to maintain water quality.
- Feed daily as the staple diet. Supplement with other Shrimp King products (Color, Mineral, Protein, Snow Pops) on a rotation schedule to address specific nutritional needs.
