Technical Background
Vitamins are compounds required in minute concentrations for vital
metabolic reactions; the amounts of vitamins required for a given
species varies. Short-term vitamin deficiencies can typically be
tolerated by most organisms, however long-term deficiencies tend to
result in abnormalities, poor health, and eventually even death of the
specimen. Conversely, if severely overdosed, ingested vitamins can have a
negative impact on a specimen by way of toxīcity, though the impact is
unlikely to be permanent. Decreasing the vitamin dosage typically
results in full recovery of the affected specimen.
It is recommended that Shrimp Vītamarin F be utilized as a soak for
vitamin-deficient foods, or it may be added directly to the aquarium
water, to benefit any plankton, biofilm or algae that may be present and
become food sources.
All Brightwell Aquatics liquid water care supplements are made with
purified water and high purity materials. We develop formulae for
aquaria based on empirical data, using observation and measurement
rather than theory.
Shrimp Vītamarin F does not require refrigeration, however
storage in a cool, shaded area will prolong the activity of the
vitamins. Refrigeration will maximize the shelf-life of the product.
Instructions & Guidelines
To fortify food: Place food in a clean container
such as a small bowl or cup and add only enough Shrimp Vītamarin F to
saturate. Allow at least 5 minutes to elapse before feeding, enabling
adequate time for the vitamins to become thoroughly absorbed by the
food. Repeat with each feeding, or as deemed necessary by the general
appearance of the organisms consuming the food.
When preparing shrimp for spawning, feeding frequency is often
increased; limit the use of Shrimp Vītamarin F to twice each day. Be
sure to remove any uneaten food from the aquarium after 5 - 7 minutes to
ensure that water quality is not negatively-impacted by excessive
nutrient input. Avoiding overfeeding is a crucial aspect of successful
aquarium husbandry.
Shrimp Vītamarin F may be added directly to the aquarium water. For
this use, add 2 ml (1 pump if equipped with a pump, or 2 threads on cap)
twice a week.
Liquid food suspensions may be fortified by adding 2 ml (1 pump if
equipped with pump, or approximately 16 drops) ShrimpVītamarin-F per 20
ml of food suspension; stir to mix and allow 5 minutes to elapse before
feeding.
Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption.
