Minerals are vital for invertebrates in the aquarium, but they cannot be produced by the respective organism itself. With Mineral Junkie Bites you can supply your animals sufficiently with all important minerals. The sticks contain inorganically as well as organically bound minerals to avoid deficiency symptoms, which often show up in shrimps and other crustaceans through moulting problems, weak growth, as well as high mortality rates in young animals.
With snails you can avoid pitting in the shell with Mineral Junkie Bites, they grow better with sufficient mineral supply and build an even, strong shell.
A sufficient mineral supply is a very important factor in keeping and breeding shrimps, crabs, shrimps and snails, they are literally "addicted" to these substances. All invertebrates have a so-called exoskeleton, which among other things consists of minerals. Minerals are also responsible for many special tasks in the organism, e.g. for the excitation of muscles and nerves. It is well known that the color cells of dwarf shrimp (chromatophores) are coupled to muscles, therefore an optimal supplementation of minerals can have a positive effect on the species-specific coloration. Numerous hormonal processes are also not possible without minerals.
Mineral Junkie Bites contain besides minerals also useful vegetarian ingredients and herbal extracts with many secondary plant substances, for agile and healthy animals. At the same time protein and fat are contained only very low, so that the water quality is hardly burdened and the Mineral Junkie Pearls can also be used very well as a summer or weekend food.
