Description

Qualdrop MOLT is a complete shrimp food specifically formulated to support safe molting and strong shell development in ornamental freshwater shrimp. The formula contains an optimized balance of calcium, cholesterol, and phospholipids — the three key compounds required for the shrimp's exoskeleton to form correctly after each molt. Balanced essential fatty acids (DHA omega-3, EPA omega-3, ARA omega-6), nucleotides, vitamins, and minerals are also included to support the shrimp through the physiologically demanding molting process.

MOLT is a complete food — it can fully replace the daily VITAL food on the days it is fed. Offered 1–2 times per week, it reduces molt-related mortality and supports consistent, healthy shell regeneration in both Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp.

Key benefits

  • Optimized calcium, cholesterol and phospholipid ratio — reduces molt-related mortality
  • Complete macro and micronutrient profile: DHA, EPA, ARA, nucleotides, vitamins, minerals
  • Supports strong, consistent shell formation after molting
  • Water-stable formula — remains soft and accessible without disintegrating
  • EU-compliant formulation of Polish origin

Suitable for

  • Neocaridina shrimp (Red Cherry, Blue Velvet, Yellow, etc.)
  • Caridina shrimp (Crystal Red, Crystal Black, Tiger, etc.)
  • Particularly beneficial during active breeding periods when molting frequency increases

Feeding instructions

Offer 1 piece (~1 cm) for 15–25 shrimp, 1–2 times per week as a replacement for the daily VITAL food. Adjust portions so the food is consumed within 24 hours. Always handle with dry fingers.
