Shrimp Food
Premium Aquarium Shrimp Food
At The Wet Leaf Canada, we offer premium shrimp foods designed to support healthy growth, vibrant colour, breeding success, and long-term colony health. Shrimp naturally graze throughout the day, so quality foods should provide balanced nutrition while remaining stable in the aquarium and supporting natural feeding behaviours. Featuring trusted brands such as GlasGarten and Shrimp Expert, our selection includes staple foods, baby shrimp foods, protein supplements, and specialty feeds for freshwater shrimp keepers.
Learn More About Aquarium Shrimp Food
Why is shrimp food different from fish food?
Freshwater shrimp are constant grazers that spend much of their day searching for biofilm, algae, and organic material throughout the aquarium. Unlike fish, shrimp do not consume large meals, so quality shrimp food should slowly release nutrients and allow natural grazing behaviour.
What should shrimp food contain?
A balanced shrimp diet should provide essential proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibre, and trace elements needed for growth, colour development, successful molts, and reproduction. Natural ingredients such as algae, vegetables, leaves, herbs, and plant-based proteins help replicate the varied diet shrimp experience in nature.
Feeding baby shrimp and growing colonies
Baby shrimp require especially fine foods that are small enough for developing shrimplets to consume. Powdered and specialized baby shrimp foods help provide essential nutrients during early growth while supporting stronger survival rates in breeding colonies.

How often should shrimp be fed?
Shrimp should be fed small amounts that can be consumed within a few hours. In a mature planted aquarium, shrimp will supplement their diet by grazing on biofilm, microorganisms, and natural growth throughout the tank.
