Recommended Posts

Benibachi is a well known breeder of high quality Crystal Red / Crystal Black shrimps in Japan. They have an extensive line-up of food and additives and have quite a following globally. I have used many of their products for years and they are among my favourites. We are proud to stock the largest selection of Benibachi products in Canada!

Below is our current Benibachi product list. Our notes are in italics. Feel free to post any questions you have below

FOOD

BENIBACHI Kale Tablets 30g - $16.95

Weight: 30g - 120 tablets.

A staple in our feeding schedule, and a favourite of our shrimps as well. It comes in a tablet form but dissolves fairly quickly once it is in the water and easily disspense throughout the tank. A great food for shrimps of all ages. The tablet is fairly large so make sure you cut it up into smaller pieces unless you have hundreds of shrimps. Highly recommended!

BENIBACHI Shrimp Food 50g - $16.95

Weight: 30g.

By far, our favourite food in the Benibachi line-up and probably overall regardless of brands. This is the Bee MAX of their food line up and this great for both babies, juvies and young adults. It comes in a pellet form but is actually quite soft and dissolve fairly quickly in the water so baby and juvies don't have to fight their way into the "shrimp ball" that usually forms with other foods. Benibachi is one of the few brands that has this type of soft pellet food. Highly recommended!

WATER QUALITY / GROWTH ADDITIVES

BENIBACHI Breeding Liquid 20ml - $20.95

Dosage:

- Tank below 45cm 1 times 1 pushes

- 60cm with tank 1 times 2 pushes

- 90cm with tank 1 times 3 pushes

Do not overdose

Dosing this into the water will encourage the shrimps to molt if they are ready and cause the males to "dance" as they seek out females who have just molted - generally they can only get berried within a short amount of time after they molt. This will not cause a shrimp to molt if they are not ready however. As such it should not be used no more than once every 2-3 weeks.

Carotenoids are colorful plant pigments that found in yellow and orange fruits and vegetables.

As you can see there is alot of products and a bit of overlap in their product range. Our absolute favourites are the Kale Tablets, Red Bee Ambitious and Bee MAX. Of course, we also use the mineral powder and mineral rocks in all our tanks but there are similar products from other manufacturers so they are not unique to just Benibachi. The Zero plates and Crimson Bee Balls are nice addition to your shrimp tanks as they not only look great but also acts as a "safety net" in case parameters crashes. Product like the colour and growth supplements are great too (we use them all in our tanks) but we only recommend using them once you have stable and thriving population
