The expiration date can be found on the side of the bottle. Our expiry date is printed on a plain white sticker.
In order to maintain the freshness of the pellets for as long as possible, we recommend that you keep the container tightly close when you aren’t actively feeding your Cherry Shrimps and/or Crystal Shrimps.

According to the official directions, you should feed one stick, which measures at around 5 mm, for every 20 shrimps in your fish tank daily.

What aquatic pets will eat Shrimp King Complete?
Aside from the aforementioned Cherry Shrimps and Crystal Shrimps, Shrimp King Complete is also suitable for aquarium crabs, snails and crayfish. Some fish may also take an interest in the pellets.
Pros
The main benefit of the Shrimp King Complete is that our Cherry Shrimps will immediate start picking apart the sticks once we drop it into your tank. So, if your inverts are picky eaters, then you may want to try feeding them this product.
While the sticks feel hard, it should break apart easily when dropped into your aquarium. These should also sink to the bottom of the tank immediately; so, you don’t have to worry about them staying afloat at the top of the water.
This food product also provides a nice balance in terms of having protein and vital minerals for your shrimps to grow healthily.
Cons
One of the issues we have with Shrimp King Complete is the inconsistent stick sizes. Some sticks are extremely long while others can be quite small.
If you are trying to follow the official directions when it comes to feeding, then putting in the appropriate amount of the food portion can be tricky due to the varying stick sizes.
Another problem is that the Shrimp King Complete is expensive in terms of the amount of food you are getting.
Overall
The Shrimp King Complete is a great product for Cherry Shrimps and Crystal Shrimps as your pet inverts should immediately swarm over to the sticks. This food product should also provide them with a healthy balance of crucial proteins and minerals.
With that said, the sticks are inconsistent when it comes to size, which will make portioning the meal a little bit difficult. Furthermore, the product is also a bit on the expensive side.
