SHRIMP KING
COLOR
35g
Food granules for the targeted colour enhancement of all yellow, orange and red shrimp species. With a high concentration of natural colour enhancers such as astaxanthin, beta-carotene and lutein.
King Colour Shrimps are sinking, water-stable food granules made from 100% natural ingredients to enhance the natural colour of freshwater dwarf shrimps.
Yellow, orange and red shrimps cannot develop the colours that give them their attractive body colouring on their own, and must obtain them through their food. These colourants, called carotenoids, are mainly found in algae, flowers, fruit and leafy vegetables. Shrimps and prawns convert carotenoids into their own colourants, especially astaxanthin, which forms a molecular bond with the protein beta-crustacyanin. These molecular compounds are stored in special colour cells and give the shrimp their species-specific colouring.
The situation with shrimps is similar to that with the famous pink flamingos: if these birds eat small carotenoid-rich crustaceans such as artemia, their feathers turn pink due to the carotenoid or astaxanthin they contain. If their food does not contain natural colorants, they lose their natural color and turn white.
Shrimp King Color is rich in natural colorants from a wide range of high-quality ingredients, such as microalgae, crustaceans, marigold flowers, paprika, carrots and decapsulated artemia eggs. With regular feeding, it provides the perfect basis for the full development of the species-specific coloration.
Shrimp King Color is particularly suitable for the following species: Red Fire, Sakura Red, Sakura Orange, Blue Pearls, Yellow Fire, Black Tiger Shrimps and Blue Tiger Shrimps.
The high-quality proteins and essential amino acids of the aquatic animals act as carrier substances for the natural color enhancer. They ensure uniform growth. Vitamins and vital substances from various types of algae and plants act as "lubricants" for a functioning metabolism and strong defenses.
