sera guide - Shrimps and crayfish

Feed according to nature Ideal shapes of food Due to the shape of both foods – spherules in case of sera shrimps natural and the unique rings in case of sera crabs natural – the animals can carry the food to a shelter where they can eat without any stress. Smaller shrimps like to pick up a spherule and bite off food particles with rotating movements. This is also how they graze off pebbles etc. in nature. In case of very small or juvenile shrimps a sera shrimps natural food spherule is sufficient even for several animals. When a shrimp ate its fill, it will drop the morsel so the next one can contin- ue eating. Crayfish prefer the loops of sera crabs na- tural. The crayfish actually carry out some kind of “tug-of-war” until they retreat to a calm corner with an entire ring or – in case of small species – a fragment. The ring shape is especially easy to grab for the claw-bearing crayfish. Both foods sink down quickly and keep their shape for at least 24 hours in the water. Their taste and their ingredients are not lost during this time. Therefore, the food optimally meets the natural nutritional habits of these animals, and the water is not unnecessarily polluted. We recom- mend feeding these wholesome foods daily. They are, by the way, also excellently suited for marine crustaceans, and they are also readily accepted by catfish. 2626
