## Overview

Aqueon Shrimp Essentials is a 4 fl oz liquid supplement designed to replenish essential trace minerals and nutrients critical for freshwater shrimp, crayfish, and lobsters. It supports molting and exoskeleton development by replacing minerals lost through chemical filtration. Easy to dose with a convenient cap, it’s ideal for water changes and new aquarium setups, ensuring your aquatic invertebrates thrive in optimal conditions.

## Description

Aqueon Shrimp Essentials replaces important trace minerals that are vital to invertebrates and are removed through chemical filtration as well as used by individual shrimp in the aquarium. Shrimp and freshwater crayfish have exoskeletons that require additional nutrients for biological processes like molting and osmoregulation. These nutrients help the crustaceans cast off their old exoskeleton and harden the new one. Use when preparing tap water for new aquariums, performing water changes or when adding water due to evaporation. It is helpful to remove chemical filtration, such as carbon or other resins, for a brief time when adding to prevent absorption and help optimize available nutrients..

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a water conditioner?**
A: Yes and no. It doesn’t have dechlorination abilities. But it does provide essential trace minerals to aquarium water. If you use distilled or RO water in your tanks, there tends to be a lack of minerals that your fish/shrimp need. This helps provide it. I use this with water changes or adding water due to evaporation. Also a must to a start up tank.

**Q: How long should i remove the carbon filtration?**
A: Hi there! We recommend between 24-48 hours.

**Q: I have a newly cycled nano tank. Would it be ok to leave my filter in so I don’t lose my cycling.**
A: Is you carbon connected to the rest of your filter media? If so then if you leave the carbon in it will remove any “meds” or additive you introduce. It’s better to leave the carbon out for about 24-48 hours while dosing. If you keep your filter media wet in a bowl or bucket then it will not loose the BBA. Also you can keep your filter running. Just remove the carbon if you have any.

**Q: Is this all needed to make ro/di water for shrimp? or are other minerals and additives needed?**
A: Hi there! Yes, this should be all you'll need to simulate RO water.

*by J***E on 2 October 2025*

I use this every time I change the water for my shrimp. These little guys can be very sensitive and I want them to have the perfect balance of water. It is clear so it doesn't tint the water and I know that my kids will be happy. Who knows what is in our water today. This takes a lot of the guess work out of it.
