Dr. Bassleer BioFish Food Shrimp Sticks – Sinking Sticks for Ornamental Shrimp

Give your shrimp a diet built for them, not an afterthought.

Neocaridina and other ornamental shrimp are grazers with tiny appetites — feed them flakes meant for fish and they get thin color, poor molts, and a cloudy tank.

Dr. Bassleer Shrimp Sticks are a German-made, functional sinking stick formulated specifically for ornamental shrimp, with the same natural additives and no artificial colors or fillers that Dr. Bassleer is known for.

Dr. Bassleer Shrimp Sticks are functional health food for shrimp, not ordinary fish food — developed by renowned fish-health expert Dr. Gerald Bassleer, who has spent 40+ years in fish health, and made in Germany by Aquarium Münster. The functional additives are applied after production at low temperature so the beneficial compounds are preserved, and there are no artificial colors or fillers. The guiding idea is simple: good nutrition is a shrimp's first line of defense against poor molts and disease.

1. Drop a stick or two where your shrimp graze.
2. Let them work on it over the day.
3. Remove anything left after a few hours.

Feed your colony like it matters. Add to cart.

Why Dr. Bassleer Shrimp Sticks

• Built for grazers: a low-protein, high-fibre sinking stick with 0.5% Aloe vera, formulated for the tiny, all-day appetites of Neocaridina and other ornamental shrimp — supporting clean molts and steady color.
• Functional additives: natural probiotics and plant-based compounds are coated on at low temperature after production, so the beneficial ingredients stay intact rather than being cooked away.
• German-made quality: produced in Germany by Aquarium Münster with no artificial colors and no fillers — just the nutrition your colony actually uses.
• Easily digestible, clean water: the sticks hold together as shrimp graze and are easily digestible, so they don't cloud a planted shrimp tank.

Best For

Ornamental freshwater shrimp — Neocaridina, Caridina and similar grazers — as well as small bottom feeders. Use as their everyday grazing food, dropping sticks where the colony gathers so every shrimp gets a share.

Feeding

Feed once or twice daily, offering only what the colony works through within a few hours; remove anything left over so it doesn't foul the water. Because shrimp graze slowly, a stick or two placed in their feeding spot is usually enough for a small colony — scale up for larger populations.

Ingredients

Cereals, derivatives of vegetable origin, 0.5% Aloe vera, fish and fish by-products, yeasts.

FAQ

What size are the sticks? These are sinking sticks sized for shrimp and small bottom feeders — no granule-size selection needed. Just drop one or two into the colony's grazing spot.

Will it cloud my water? No. The sticks are easily digestible and hold together as shrimp graze, producing low waste so they don't pollute or cloud a planted shrimp tank when uneaten portions are removed.

How often should I feed it? Once or twice daily is plenty. Offer only what the colony grazes through in a few hours and remove the rest to keep the water pristine.
