Description

Qualdrop BREED is a complete food formulated to stimulate reproduction in ornamental Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp. The 2020 formula contains a high concentration of cholesterol — a natural precursor to the hormones that regulate the shrimp's reproductive cycle — alongside omega fatty acids (DHA, EPA, ARA), nucleotides, vitamins, and minerals. Regular use increases egg production, improves egg quality, and supports the health of berried females through the incubation period.

BREED is a complete food and can fully replace the daily VITAL food on the days it is offered. The water-stable formula maintains its structure without disintegrating, keeping the food accessible to shrimp for an extended period.

Key benefits

  • High cholesterol content — natural precursor to reproductive hormones
  • Balanced omega fatty acids: DHA (omega-3), EPA (omega-3), ARA (omega-6)
  • Nucleotides, vitamins and minerals for complete nutritional support
  • Supports egg production and quality in breeding females
  • Water-stable — does not disintegrate or pollute the substrate
  • European origin, EU regulation compliant

Suitable for

  • Neocaridina shrimp (Red Cherry, Blue Velvet, Yellow, etc.)
  • Caridina shrimp (Crystal Red, Crystal Black, Tiger, Bee shrimp)
  • Especially recommended for breeding colonies and berried females

Feeding instructions
