"My red cherry shrimp eat these things up! One block lasts about four days for 10ish shrimp, and the baby shrimp are able to enjoy it too.

"It sat on the bottom of the tank for a week before anything touched it. Once a week when I do a water change I don't put food in the tank. That was the only time I saw a shrimp on it and the panda cory and otocinclus nuzzle it."

Bottom Line

Overall, these food blocks are an excellent choice for fish tanks with small pets, offering both convenience and nutritional benefits for the animals.
