GlasGarten - ShrimpFit
Supplementary feed for ornamental shrimps - ShrimpFit from GlasGarten is a special feed and immune booster for rapid activation of the immune system. ShrimpFit improves the immune system and provides your shrimps with nutritionally important active ingredients such as beta-glucans, mannan oligosaccharides, minerals and chitin.

Shrimps only have a primitive immune system. This innate immunity lacks the adaptability to develop an immunological memory, making the organism susceptible to re-infection with the same pathogens. So once an infection with a particular enemy has been overcome, it can attack again, the shrimp's immune system does not recognise it and the fight starts all over again.

However, the most common cases of bacterial infections in shrimps in aquaria are caused by non-pathogenic bacteria, i.e. they are not pathogenic bacteria, but normal bacteria that live in every aquarium and every living organism. Unfortunately, these can also quickly lead to a problem, namely if the immune system is weakened and/or does not become active quickly. A sleepy "sentry" or a sluggish "fighting force" can be decisive in a battle.
If, for example, new shrimps/snails/fish are placed in an aquarium that already contains shrimps, then often no ‘diseases’ are transferred, but simply normal bacterial strains that may be unknown to the shrimps already living in the aquarium. This means that the new bacteria can quickly colonise the shrimp, multiply rapidly and, if the immune system is not fit and fast enough, unfortunately often lead to death...
In short, without an immune system, a shrimp is just a piece of meat that wants to be decomposed by bacteria. The immune system alone prevents this, which is why it is so important to strengthen the shrimp's immune system so that it can defend itself optimally and keep the shrimp healthy. That alone is its job, to be faster and stronger than enemies can spread. ShrimpFit supports it in this task, the ingredients act as an immune booster in various ways.

Advantages of GlasGarten ShrimpFit
- High binding power and inactivation of toxins (poisons)
- Activation and multiplication of defence phagocytes
- Formation of a protective film on the intestinal mucosa

Betaglucan
Beta-1,3-1,6-glucans are structures that are recognised by the immune system as quasi-pathogens. Without being a pathogen, they trigger immune activation, but do not cause any symptoms of disease. The immune system is therefore made fit.
Beta-glucans are recognised by phagocytes (macrophages) via special receptors and immediately absorbed. As a result, the macrophages activate the formation of further immune defence cells, which then effectively protect the body from new pathogens in the blood and lymphatic system and can reduce the response time for a defence.
As soluble dietary fibres in the yeast hydrolysate used, the beta-glucans are fermented by the intestinal flora into short-chain fatty acids such as acetate, butyrate and propionate. Short-chain fatty acids are important regulators for a healthy metabolism, while butyrate is the most important source of energy for the intestinal mucosa cells and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Mannan oligosaccharides
Mannan oligosaccharides promote probiotic bacteria in the animals and a positive composition of the intestinal flora through their prebiotic effect.

Minerals and chitin
The minerals and chitin contained in the food support the development of the exoskeleton and counteract moulting problems. Every moult is a major effort for the shrimp organism and especially during this time, when all energy is concentrated on the moult, the shrimp is weakened and easily attacked. Unnecessarily long moulting phases put the shrimps under additional stress, which lowers their immune defences, which is why it is so important that the moulting process runs smoothly and quickly.

Feeding recommendation (per approx. 100 litres)

First aid
First aid (immediate aid) can prevent major damage, as the immune systems of uninfected or already infected shrimps are activated more quickly and more strongly. At the same time, toxins are bound by GlasGarten ShrimpFit and channelled out of the intestines.

- 1 heaped measuring spoon immediately
- after 2 days 1 heaped measuring spoon again

Preventive and regular feeding
Used preventively and fed regularly, ShrimpFit forms a protective film in the intestinal mucosa and increases the alertness of the immune system so that intruders can be combated more quickly and effectively if a strong immune defence is required.

- For normal stocking density: ½ measuring spoon twice a week
- For high stocking densities: 1 heaped measuring spoon twice a week

Note: 1 heaped measuring spoon corresponds to approx. 0.7 g.

We recommend not feeding any other food a few hours before and after feeding GlasGarten ShrimpFit in order to optimise the effect of beta-glucan. Overdosing or frequent feeding is not recommended, as the effect of the ingredients in ShrimpFit lasts for several days.
