Perfect Nutrition for Fan Shrimp

Dennerle Shrimp King Atyopsis is a staple dust food specially formulated for freshwater fan shrimp like Atyopsis moluccensis, Atya gabonensis, and similar filter-feeders from Southeast Asia. These elegant shrimp use feathery fans to capture microscopic particles from water currents, and this premium food matches their natural diet with high-quality proteins (33% crude protein), essential amino acids from insect larvae and crustaceans, spirulina algae (10%), and Moringa oleifera leaves for immune support. Natural carotenoids enhance species-specific colors, while dietary fibers promote digestion—all in an optimal particle size that reduces waste and supports clean aquariums.

Beginners appreciate the no-fuss formula: free from artificial additives, fish meal, or preservatives, it guarantees balanced growth, prolific reproduction, and splendid vitality in home setups.

Dennerle Shrimp King Atyopsis suits nano to medium tanks with moderate flow, where shrimp perch on rocks or driftwood, fanning food from the current—observe their active feeding for a rewarding hobby experience.

Feeding Guide for Success

Feed approximately 1 level micro-spoon per shrimp, twice daily. Mix the fine dust with a small amount of tank water in a cup to form a mash, then pipette it directly into the water flow or a high-current area. Remove uneaten food after 2-3 hours to maintain pristine water quality. Overfeeding risks pollution, so start small and adjust based on your group’s response—your shrimp’s vibrant activity signals perfect portions.

For best results, pair with live algae, blanched veggies, or Indian almond leaves as occasional supplements.

Ideal for Beginner Aquarists

Atyopsis shrimp are peaceful, beginner-to-intermediate pets reaching 7.6 cm, living up to 2 years in groups of 6+. They prefer stable parameters (see table above), soft substrate for foraging if food is scarce, and hiding spots during molts when vulnerable. This food simplifies care by mimicking their stream habitat diet, helping novices achieve thriving colonies without advanced expertise.
