Minerals are a vital component for invertebrates in your aquaria. They cannot be produced by the organisms themselves but must be ingested through food. You can provide your aquarium invertebrates with all the minerals they need with Mineral Junkie Bites. These bites contain inorganic minerals as well as organically bound minerals to prevent mineral deficiencies, which, in shrimp and other crustaceans, often cause molting problems, slow growth, and high mortality rates, especially amongst juveniles.
Snails can be given Mineral Junkie Bites to prevent holes from forming in their shells. Snails also grow better when supplied with an ample amount of minerals, resulting in shells that are smoother and stronger.
An ample mineral supply is a crucial factor in breeding and keeping shrimp, crayfish, crabs, and snails; they are addicted (figuratively) to these substances. All invertebrates possess an exoskeleton, which relies on minerals for growth. However, this is not the only function; they require minerals for many physiological tasks, such as the excitation of muscles and nerves. As we know, the colour cells of dwarf shrimp (chromatophores) are connected to muscles. An optimal mineral supply may thus have a positive effect on the intensity of species-specific colours. Many hormonal processes would also be impossible without the right minerals.
Besides minerals, Mineral Junkie Bites contain ingredients of vegetable origin and herbal extracts rich in beneficial phytochemicals for agile and healthy invertebrates. The protein and fat content have been kept deliberately low to prevent undue water pollution. Mineral Junkie Bites are an ideal staple food for the summer or when you are away for the weekend.
