Description

Qualdrop VITAL is a complete daily food for ornamental Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp, formulated to support optimal growth, natural pigmentation, and disease resistance. The 2020 formula contains 41% crude protein alongside a balanced profile of essential unsaturated fatty acids (DHA omega-3, EPA omega-3, ARA omega-6), nucleotides, vitamins, and both micro and macro minerals. Natural garlic and lyophilized spinach extracts enhance immune function and disease resistance.

VITAL uses a water-stable production process and natural binders that keep the food intact in water without disintegrating — preventing substrate contamination while keeping the food soft and accessible to shrimp for extended periods.
