It supports molting and exoskeleton development by replacing minerals lost through chemical filtration. The product includes a convenient dosing cap for precise measurement and is best used by temporarily removing chemical filtration to optimize nutrient uptake during water changes or aquarium setup. ## 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.. Review: Works like its made Review: Didn't receive dosing cap. Label also slapped right over the instructions and peels off in peices. It's really not that difficult to not have these issues. ## Features - Freshwater shrimp and crayfish need additional nutrients for molting and osmoregulation - Replaces minerals and trace elements needed for strong exoskeleton development - Suggested to remove chemical filtration, such as carbon, temporarily when dosing - Ideal for all freshwater shrimp, crawfish and lobsters - Convenient dosage cap is included - Add 5mL (1 tsp) for every 1 gallon of temperature adjusted tap or purified water ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HGL5DK2 | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,601 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #224 in Fish Medication & Health Supplies | | Brand Name | Aqueon | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,385) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00015905001076 | | Included Components | Aqueon Shrimp Essentials 4 Fluid Ounces | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Aqueon Shrimp Essentials | | Liquid Volume | 4 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Central Garden & Pet | | Manufacturer Part Number | 100536240 | | Model Number | 100536240 | | Target Species | Shrimp | | UPC | 015905001076 | | Unit Count | 4 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Aqueon - **Item form:** Liquid - **Liquid volume:** 4 Fluid Ounces - **Manufacturer:** Central Garden & Pet - **UPC:** 015905001076 ## Images ![Shrimp Essentials 4 Fluid Ounces - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716Hn+9TPUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***R on 19 February 2026* Works like its made ### ⭐ Review *by B***N on 19 February 2026* Didn't receive dosing cap.
