## Overview

GlasGarten Mineral Junkie Bites are a 50g supplementary feed designed for shrimps, crayfish, crabs, and snails, delivering vital organic and inorganic minerals essential for healthy exoskeleton development, vibrant coloration, and overall vitality. The soft, easy-to-dose sticks contain herbal extracts and vegetable by-products, formulated with low protein and fat to reduce water pollution. Made in Germany with over 25 years of aquarist expertise, these bites prevent common mineral deficiencies, support molting, and promote robust growth across all life stages.

## Description

GlasGarten Mineral Junkie Bites is a complementary Feed for Invertebrates - Minerals are vital for the inverts in our aquaria. They cannot be produced by the organism itself but need to be taken in with the food. You can provide your aquarium inverts with all the minerals they need with the Mineral Junkie Pearls. These contain inorganic minerals as well as minerals that are organically bound and prevent mineral deficiencies, which, in shrimp and other crustaceans, often cause molting problems, slow growth and a high mortality rate especially amongst the juveniles. Snails can be given the Mineral Junkie Bites to prevent holes from forming in their shells. An ample mineral supply is a crucial factor in breeding and keeping shrimp, crayfish, crabs and snails, they are addicted (in a figurative sense) to these substances. All inverts possess a so-called exoskeleton, an important part of which they build from minerals. However, this is not the only thing they need minerals for, they are also vital for many tasks of the organism, like the excitation of muscles and nerves. As we all know, the color cells of dwarf shrimp (the chromatophores) are connected to muscles. An optimal mineral supply may thus have a positive effect on the intensity of the species-specific colors. Besides minerals, the Mineral Junkie Bites contain ingredients of vegetable sources and herb extracts that are rich in beneficial phytochemicals, for agile and healthy inverts. We have kept the protein and fat content deliberately low to prevent an undue pollution of the water. The Mineral Junkie Bites are an ideal staple food for the summer or when you are away for the weekend. Feeding recommendation for Shrimps, Crayfish, Crabs, Snails: Every 2 - 3 days or as needed as much as your pet eat within a few hours. Ingredients: Minerals, Vegetable by-products, Cereals, Herbal exctracts Analytical ingredients: 4,04% crude protein, 0,62% crude fat, 0,68% raw fibre, 27,08% crude ash Form: soft stick

Review: Aquarium Snail Food - I bought this after a recommendation on an on line blog. Snails love these bites, which float to the aquarium bottom immediately when dropped into the water. Feeding 3 small bites in each of 2 aquariums every 2-3 days, one container lasted 9 months. Great for keeping a snail population to clean up your aquarium.
Review: Highly recommend for first time shrimp owners - Highly recommend for first time shrimp owners, especially those with softer water. This brand typically runs a little cheaper then others but is still great quality! I haven't bought any in some time as I no longer have shrimp but when I did these things helped to basically explode my population to the point I was selling my shrimp off by the hundreds! This is the brand I always recommend to people, and yes, it is necessary! This helps them maintain their shed which is when they breed, just 1-3 pellets and they're good to go!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I ordered mineral junkie pearls and received these "bites" instead... is there a difference between the two products?**
A: There is no difference, just the shape if it.  Glasgarten didn't tell me they changed from Pearls to Bites when they sent me their latest shipment and I didn't notice when I shipped out my first few shipments.  You can request a return if you'd like, or just use it as it is the same ingredients.  Sorry for this error.

**Q: Does it contain calcium and does this replace the super vegie aticks i feed them now?**
A: The list of ingredients on the container is the same as what the product says (non-specific, just "minerals"). I assume it contains calcium since that is one of the more important minerals for shrimp. I think it is unlikely that it would replace the super veggie sticks, as these are white cylinders so they likely don't contain a lot of veggies.

**Q: Does this food increase gh or kh? If so to what numbers?**
A: Not in my experience. Doesn’t seem to impact pH either. If it does in either case, it’s undetectable by my testing methods. I feed sparingly though. If you overfeed with it or added a ton I imagine it might impact your parameters but I don’t know for certain. 
I think it’s great stuff and so do my shrimp & snails 🦐 🐌😺

**Q: Will fish eat these before snails ever get a chance?**
A: I break a bite in smaller pieces and when I add it to the tank the fish eat the finer crumbs while the larger pieces sink to the bottom. The snails definitely get their share but the fish get to enjoy them too. I don’t feed bites every day so container has lasted me a long time.
