Shrimp mix

Shrimp mix, also known as European shrimp mix, is a term for a class of frozen fish feed used for fish _with special dietary requirements, e.g. Tropheus, which are difficult to maintain using normal bhhfish feed. The basic version, is intended for herbivorous fish and is made by blending equal amounts of whole shrimp and green peas to a smooth paste, adding a vitamin supplement, and using either agar-agar or gelatin as binder. There are numerous variants tailored to the specific needs of different species. Common variants replace part of the shrimp or peas with fish meat, spinach, spirulina, or mussel meat, and add astaxanthin, ascorbic acid, or garlic.
