Repashy Shrimp Souffle

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I have been meaning to do this review for a while now but well I'm lazy! So here it is finally!

First I will talk about how I prepare the shrimp gel, directions recommend a 1 part repashy to 3 parts water but I prefer 1:2and a bit as I don't want the gel to fall apart too easily once in tank. Add the Repashy powder in a mixing container (remember how much you put in so you can add water accordingly) and then mix in other powders, vitamins, etc...you would like. I mixed in spirulina powder, bladderwrack powder, Cracked cell wall pine pollen powder, Nettle powder, Barley Grass, Vitamins, Bee pollen, Kale, Also you can add things like "White Up/Red Up if you want", basically anything that is used for shrimp.

Once you have in all the ingredients you wish, boil up some water and add in the ratio that suits you (as said I like it around 1part repashy to 2-2and1/2 water) and mix quickly (you may want to hold your breath here as this stuff stinks bad!), then pour into a mould or like me just a sandwich bag before it starts to set. Then roll it out

Place the finished product in fridge to set just like jelly. Once set just break off a bit each time to feed to shrimp.

They love the stuff!

Note: Do not make too much at once as it will go off like any other food (I use 2 table spoons at a time)...Keep refrigerated or I like to keep mine in the freezer (it will last at least few weeks without going bad).

If this has been helpful please thank/like the post!

Cheers Chi.

Nice one! Wasn't aware that Repashy food was available in Australia. This is great!

I don't think it is Serkan as my brother bought it from UK and brought it back with him for me from when he worked over there. It can be purchased on eBay though, my friend purchased his there.

Yes it sinks, lets say it is a jelly type food for shrimp, I just added extra powders, vitamins, etc because I wanted to bit it is fine on its own.

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
