Q: What is SAS Spectrum Blue 30g?
A: SAS Spectrum Blue is a premium shrimp pellet food designed specifically to enhance and deepen blue coloration in blue varieties of Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp. It is intended as a complete daily diet.
Q: What shrimp is it designed for?
A: It is formulated for blue Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp, including popular blue strains such as Blue Dream, Blue Velvet, Blue Bolt, and similar varieties.
Q: How does it enhance blue coloration?
A: The food contains natural anthocyanin-rich ingredients that are intended to intensify and deepen blue pigments over time when fed regularly.
Q: Can it be fed every day?
A: Yes. Spectrum Blue is designed to be used as a staple daily diet rather than an occasional supplement.
Q: Does it contain artificial colours or additives?
A: No. The manufacturer states that it contains no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives and uses natural Australian-sourced ingredients.
Q: Does it provide benefits beyond colour enhancement?
A: Yes. The food includes a proprietary blend of over 100 vitamins, minerals, and trace elements intended to support overall health, moulting success, breeding performance, and fry survival.
Q: How often should I feed it?
A: Feed once daily and only provide an amount that your shrimp can consume within 1–2 hours.
Q: What should I do with uneaten food?
A: Remove uneaten pellets after 24 hours to help maintain water quality.
Q: Is it suitable for baby shrimp (shrimplets)?
A: Yes. The manufacturer states it can be fed to all life stages and may help improve fry survival rates.
Q: Will it turn non-blue shrimp blue?
A: No. It cannot change a shrimp's genetics or create blue coloration where it does not exist. It is intended to enhance and maintain existing blue pigmentation. The effect will vary depending on genetics, health, and tank conditions.
Q: How long does it take to see colour improvements?
A: The manufacturer does not specify a timeline. In practice, colour enhancement foods generally require consistent feeding over several weeks before noticeable changes occur. Results depend heavily on the shrimp's genetics and overall health.
Q: Is it made in Australia?
A: Yes. SAS Spectrum Blue is marketed as being made from Australian-sourced ingredients and manufactured in Australia.
