Nettle Pellets – Natural, Nutrient-Rich Shrimp Food

Nettle pellets are a highly nutritious, plant-based shrimp food made from 100% dried stinging nettles. Packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, these pellets support shrimp health, growth, and vibrant coloration.

Key Benefits: 
✅ 100% Natural & Plant-Based – Made from pure dried stinging nettles, free from artificial additives.
✅ Rich in Essential Nutrients – Packed with calcium, iron, and vitamins that support healthy growth and molting.
✅ Promotes Digestive Health – High in fiber to aid digestion and prevent bloating.
✅ Supports Vibrant Coloration – Natural antioxidants help enhance shrimp coloration.
✅ Slow-Softening & Long-Lasting – Allows shrimp to graze over time without polluting the water.

Nettles are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and high levels of calcium, iron, and fiber, making them an excellent choice for promoting strong exoskeletons and successful molting.

Why Choose Nettle Pellets?
Nettle pellets provide a natural, wholesome feeding option for shrimp keepers who want to support their colony’s overall health and vitality.

With their high mineral content and beneficial plant compounds, they help strengthen shrimp shells, boost immunity, and encourage natural grazing behavior.

These sinking pellets soften gradually in water, allowing shrimp to graze naturally while ensuring minimal waste and maximum nutrition.

How to Use:

  1. Feed 1-2 times per week as part of a varied diet.
  2. Drop a small amount (approximately 1-2 pellets per 15-30 shrimp) into the aquarium.
  3. The pellets will slowly soften in water, allowing shrimp to graze at their own pace.
  4. Any remaining food can be left in the tank, as it continues to break down naturally without fouling the water.

Storage Instructions:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain freshness, reseal the packaging after each use.

A perfect choice for hobbyists and breeders alike, nettle pellets are a must-have for any shrimp tank! 🦐🌿

    Wow!

    Now I have seemingly ungrateful, entitled shrimp 🤣.... they wouldn't touch anything i put in, blanched veggies included, turned their little shrimp noses up and carried on grazing.... until THESE pellets. They went mad for them and the one pellet I dropped in for my 30 shrimp was gone overnight! I saw multiple shrimp on the pellet fluff constantly when I dropped it in. Amazing! Thank you for making tasty food for my babies!!!

    These nettle pellets from shrimpkeeper are first class. All the shrimp love them even the wood shrimp who sit over the pile shovelling up all the nettley goodness. Snails love em aswell. Fantastic product. I'd say probably the best you can buy and you'll not find another 100g bag of this quality for the same price anywhere.

    Shrimps food pallets

    Shrimps seem to avoid it even the snails wouldn’t eat it just filled of pieces on the bottom of the tank. I think it’s still there total waste of money.

    Hi John,

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our Nettle Pellets.

    As you’ll see from our other reviews, it is quite unusual for shrimp (and snails) not to enjoy our foods, which is why we offer our Clean Dish Guarantee. If your shrimp don’t take to a food, simply get in touch and we’ll happily refund the purchase price.

    The vast majority of shrimp keepers find that their shrimp love our Nettle Pellets, but we also understand that every colony is different and not every food will be a hit in every aquarium. We believe honest feedback is important, which is why we publish all genuine reviews, not just the 5-star ones.

    We appreciate your feedback and wish you and your shrimp colony all the best for the future.

    If there’s anything else we can help with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

    Richard.
