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.
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.
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.
How to Use:
- Feed 1-2 times per week as part of a varied diet.
- Drop a small amount (approximately 1-2 pellets per 15-30 shrimp) into the aquarium.
- The pellets will slowly soften in water, allowing shrimp to graze at their own pace.
- 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! 🦐🌿

These pellets certainly did the job. Our little fellas were all over this stuff, one big food party and looks like they are loving it.

My shrimp go crazy for the nettle pellets. A lot easier to use that fresh nettle leaves. Even a small pellet goes a very long way!

I feed these in part of a rotation of a balanced diet for my shrimp and they don't last long in the tank. They expand up and break apart into small pieces easy for shrimp to nibble on

Shrimp love these nettle pellets. And so do my bottom feeders in my main tank. I was boiling nettles in water but this is a much easier and convenient way to feed. I will always keep these in feeding pot from now onwards.
