Essential details and safety

Use slowly, observe livestock and avoid chasing instant changes. BBA product pages are guidance for careful aquarium use, not veterinary or medical advice.

Preparation notes

  • Place one lolly into the aquarium and allow shrimp and snails to graze naturally.
  • Use as a treat food, not as the only food source.
  • For small tanks or small colonies, start with one lolly and observe how quickly it is eaten.
  • Feed according to the size of your shrimp colony and how fast the food is consumed.
  • Remove uneaten remains after a few hours if necessary.
  • Do not overfeed; excess food can soften, break down and affect water quality.

Safety notes

  • This is a supplementary treat food, not a complete main diet.
  • Feed as part of a varied diet.
  • Contains animal-derived ingredients: shrimp powder and fish gelatine.
  • Not suitable for customers looking for a vegetarian or vegan shrimp food.
  • Handmade items may vary slightly between batches.
  • Colour may vary slightly because bee pollen is a natural ingredient.
  • Not a livestock-care shortcut, water-care shortcut or cure for moulting problems.
  • No instant pH promise and no livestock-care shortcut claim.
  • Remove if livestock show stress.

Method reminders

Prepare, add gradually, observe

How should this be introduced?

Prepare as appropriate, add a small amount first and watch livestock and water clarity for 24-72 hours before adding more.

Is natural variation normal?

Yes. Botanical and prepared aquarium products can vary in size, colour, shape, texture, tint and breakdown speed.

Does this guarantee water parameter changes?

No. The BBA method is deliberately careful: products can support a route, but they do not promise instant pH, GH or KH results.

End route

Not sure how much to add?

Use the route guidance before building a heavy botanical layout, especially for shrimp, nano and soft-water tanks.
