Generic Crayfish & Crab Food, Sinking Pellets with Calcium for Shrimp

BugGraze Crab & Crayfish Food is a high-protein sinking pellet diet for freshwater crabs, crayfish, shrimp, and other bottom-feeding crustaceans, made with Black Soldier Fly Larvae and naturally high in calcium.

• Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) formula — provides protein-rich, insect-based nutrition.
• Fast-sinking pellets — bring food to bottom-dwelling animals instead of surface-feeding fish.
• Naturally high in calcium — supports healthy molting and strong exoskeleton development.
• No binders or fillers — a clean formula designed to support digestion and reduce tank waste.
• Made for crustaceans — suitable for freshwater crabs, crayfish, hermit crabs, shrimp, and other bottom feeders.

Bottom-feeding aquarium animals need food that reaches their feeding area. BugGraze pellets sink quickly, so crustaceans can forage on the aquarium floor, including in community aquariums where fish feed near the surface. The formula is intended for everyday feeding of freshwater crustaceans and scavenger species.

Which aquarium animals is BugGraze Crab & Crayfish Food made for?

It is formulated for crayfish, freshwater crabs, hermit crabs, shrimp, and other bottom-dwelling crustaceans. The sinking format suits animals that search for food on the aquarium bottom, including shrimp colonies and scavenger species. Its insect-based nutrition comes from Black Soldier Fly Larvae.

• For freshwater crabs and crayfish, including crawfish.
• Suitable for shrimp tanks and community aquariums with bottom-feeding crustaceans.

How do the pellets support molting and shell development?

The food is naturally high in calcium, which helps support healthy molting and strong exoskeleton development. Its high-protein BSFL formula is also designed to support healthy growth and active foraging behavior. These are nutritional support aims, not guaranteed outcomes for every animal.

• Protein-rich nutrition from an insect-based ingredient.
• Calcium to support molting and exoskeleton development.

How should I feed BugGraze, and what happens when the pellets get wet?

Feed small amounts once or twice daily, offering only what your aquatic animals can eat within a few minutes. The pellets absorb water and soften quickly; because they contain no binders or fillers, they may crumble after soaking. Some breakage or dust can also occur, and the softened texture can make the food easier for aquatic animals to consume.

• Start with a small portion and avoid overfeeding to help maintain water quality.
• Natural breakage or dust does not affect the food’s quality or performance.

BugGraze Crab & Crayfish Food suits aquarium keepers feeding freshwater crustaceans that forage at the bottom, whether in a shrimp tank or a community aquarium. Its sinking BSFL pellets pair protein-rich nutrition with naturally high calcium for a daily crustacean feeding routine.
