Shrimp Lollies – Handmade In-USA High-Quality Mineral-Rich Treats for Freshwater Shrimps & Aquatic Invertebrates

Give your freshwater shrimp, snails, and nano fish a feast they’ll truly thrive on with Terra Mater Gardens’ Shrimp Lollies — mineral-rich treats crafted from premium natural ingredients and balanced nutrition. Designed for all freshwater shrimp species, including Neocaridina, Caridina, and Sulawesi types, these lollies promote healthy growth, vibrant coloration, and natural grazing behavior.

Each batch is lovingly mixed and hand-rolled, ensuring freshness, purity, and nutrient integrity. Our Shrimp Lollies dissolve gradually in water, allowing your shrimp colony to graze together just like they would in nature — a fascinating, enriching sight for any aquarist.

Formulated without artificial additives or fillers, these treats support gut health, shell strength, reproduction, and color enhancement, while encouraging social feeding and biofilm-like growth on surfaces. Perfect for shrimp tanks, breeding setups, or mixed aquariums with snails and microfauna.

Choose from three distinctive blends — each one designed to meet different nutritional and behavioral needs.
