Nature Boys Fruit Mix 2.0

Nature Boys Fruit Mix 2.0 is a fruit-based shrimp food that combines a blend of quality ingredients to provide balanced, well-rounded nutrition for freshwater aquarium shrimp. It suits South African shrimp keepers who want more than a simple treat: a varied diet of fruits, plant matter and functional additives to keep their colony active and vibrant.

Nature Boys formulated Fruit Mix 2.0 around the needs of freshwater shrimp. Four fruit and plant ingredients supply vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre. Five additives sit alongside them, chosen to support biofilm growth, natural defences and water quality in the tank. Shrimp enjoy it as a treat, and it also contributes to a varied, balanced diet.

Key Benefits

• Varied, balanced nutrition: One food covers vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, protein and fibre, so your shrimp get a well-rounded diet rather than a single-source feed.
• Passion fruit: This tropical fruit contributes a range of vitamins and minerals that support overall shrimp health and vitality.
• Mulberry: Mulberries are known for their antioxidant properties and are included to help keep shrimp robust and vibrant.
• Raspberry: Raspberries add essential nutrients to the blend and help round out a balanced diet.
• Vine: Vine is a nutrient-rich source of fibre that supports healthy digestion and nutrient absorption.
• Bee pollen: Often described as a superfood, bee pollen brings vitamins, minerals and amino acids to the mix.
• Spirulina powder: Spirulina is valued for its high protein content and rich antioxidant properties, and is included to support your shrimp's immune system.
• Bacter powder: This additive encourages the growth of biofilm and helps maintain the balance of microflora and microfauna in the aquarium. That gives shrimp a natural grazing surface alongside the food itself.
• Betaglucan: Betaglucan is added to support shrimp's natural defences against harmful germs and bacteria and to contribute to long-term wellbeing.
• Mont powder: As well as providing nourishment, mont powder works as a water purifier, supporting a cleaner environment for shrimp to thrive in.
• Treat and staple support in one: It is appealing enough to use as a treat, and the formula also adds real nutritional value to your shrimp's regular diet.
• Carefully selected ingredients: Nature Boys chose each ingredient for a specific nutritional or environmental role.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nature Boys Fruit Mix 2.0 just a treat, or can it be part of a regular diet?
It works as both. Shrimp enjoy it as a treat, and the blend of fruits, bee pollen, spirulina and other additives is formulated to contribute balanced nutrition to a varied freshwater shrimp diet.

What does the bacter powder do in this shrimp food?
Bacter powder promotes the growth of biofilm and helps keep microflora and microfauna in the tank in balance. Shrimp graze on biofilm naturally, so it adds an extra source of nutrition beyond the food itself.

Will this food affect my aquarium's water quality?
The formula includes mont powder, which acts as a water purifier and supports a cleaner environment. As with any food, avoid overfeeding and remove leftovers so they don't break down in the tank. This matters most during hot South African summers, when water warms up quickly.

Which ingredients provide antioxidants?
Mulberry and spirulina powder are the main antioxidant contributors. Passion fruit, raspberry, vine and bee pollen add vitamins, minerals, fibre and amino acids.

Is Fruit Mix 2.0 suitable for all my aquarium inhabitants?
Nature Boys formulated it specifically for freshwater aquarium shrimp. Its ingredient balance is designed around their dietary needs rather than those of fish or other livestock.

What does betaglucan add to the formula?
Betaglucan is included to support shrimp's natural defences against harmful germs and bacteria. Together with spirulina and bee pollen, it makes the food more than just a fruit snack.
