Designed specifically for shrimp, crustaceans, and freshwater river fishes, it supports critical neurological and metabolic functions while enhancing natural coloration. Copper-free and formulated with high purity ingredients, it replenishes minerals lost through filtration, ensuring a thriving, vibrant aquatic environment. ## Description The role that trace and minor elements play with shrimp, other crustaceans and riverine fishes is related to neurological and metabolic processes (in which these elements play critical roles), as well as overall coloration (trace and minor elements are often at the core of pigments known to enhance coloration). Dosing a trace and minor supplement with every water change performed is an effective method of delivering these substances for maximum benefit. Many freshwater shrimps are native to tropical and subtropical waters of Asia, Oceania and Africa. In general, most will thrive in water conditions similar to mose freshwater fish species. Parameters within the following ranges is generally acceptable: pH 6.5 - 7.5; dGH 4 - 6; dKH 3 - 4; however, obtaining the water parameters in which your shrimp were bred and maintaining them in these conditions is the best practice to follow. Certainly, research the web to obtain more specific parameters recommended for the exact species you are keeping. A number of popular ornamental fish species, such as Cardinal Tetras and Neon Tetras, Rasboras, White Clouds, and Glassfish are often found in the same water conditions in which shrimp thrive; hence, ShrimpCode may also be used in aquaria housing these fishes with equal success, as well as catfish species such as pygmy Corydoras, and Kuhli loaches. Review: Great product - Stuff is awesome for my shrimp Review: Packaging was awesome and safe! No leaks! - Not sure of any other complaints but this bottle arrived in perfect condition! Brightwell Aquatics did one hell of a job making sure the package was safe and protected! I've never seen this level of packaging and safety! The bottle did come with the pump already installed which in my opinion is 50/50 good and bad. I would feel more comfortable with a safety seal on the bottle with a cap. The liquid seemed to have a blue tint and didn't necessarily have a scent in my opinion. If the liquid has the minerals it claims then I believe it's a great product. I don't know how I would know but I've not witnessed any bad products from this company yet. I would suggest this product to others! ## Features - Unique complex that provides trace and minor elements in beneficial ratios designed for shrimp, other crustaceans, and riverine fishes - Provides minor and trace elements utilized in important neurological and metabolic reactions, and which are incorporated into natural biopigments for coloration - Replaces elements used by aquarium inhabitants and concentrations lost through chemical filtration (use of filtration media such as resins and activated carbon) - Formulated utilizing extensive research on chemistry of the waters naturally-inhabited by shrimp; copper free and composed of high purity materials ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07XK8CLKC | | Allergen Information | Sulphites Free | | Brand | Brightwell Aquatics | | Brand Name | Brightwell Aquatics | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 111 Reviews | | Included Components | ShrimpCode | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Water Conditioner | | Item form | Liquid | | Liquid Volume | 500 Milliliters | | Liquid volume | 500 Milliliters | | Manufacturer | Brightwell Aquatics | | Manufacturer Part Number | SHC500 | | Model Number | SHC500 | | Target Species | Shrimp | | UPC | 096647000107 | | Unit Count | 500.0 Milliliters | | Unit count | 500.0 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brightwell Aquatics - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Liquid Volume:** 500 Milliliters - **Manufacturer:** Brightwell Aquatics - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![ShrimpCode - Trace and Minor Elements for Shrimp and Other Freshwater River Fishes, 500 ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hIqQzrh3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I use this product with carbon filter? If not, would it make a difference if i turn off filter for a while after dosing or it’s still a no? TY** A: I’m not sure. I have a sponge filter in my tanks and live plants for the past 3 yrs. **Q: Does this increase the tds and gh?** A: Technically yes, but it is so slight that you won't be able to measure the increase because the minerals added are minor and trace minerals and the quantities are very small per dose. So, in practicality, no is the best answer because you won't see an increase. **Q: Can this be used in saltwater aquariums? If not is there an alternative for salt water shrimp?** A: We would recommend Replenish for saltwater aquariums, instead of this product. If you have further questions, you can fill out our webform, as well. **Q: Says it’s ok for riverine fish… will this be ok for both Betta fish and guppies?** A: I used it for my freshwater tank with a betta and an assortment of small tetras, Corydoras and otocinclus catfish. They are did well, but I have not used it with guppies. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by C***S on 27 April 2026* Stuff is awesome for my shrimp ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Packaging was awesome and safe!

Brightwell Aquatics did one hell of a job making sure the package was safe and protected! I've never seen this level of packaging and safety!

I would suggest this product to others! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think it helps *by D***E on 24 November 2022* I really love Brightwell chemicals. They always are so refined and a feeling of purity. This item designed to be dosed at water changes. Everybody should practice caution with hands in the tank. It's super easy to use so I will stay on top of updating time frame updates. Also, when we dose something in any amount we need to remember that it will stay in the water column forever! Ok not forever but point is:.If we can stick to 1 Brightwell and monitor all changes it will work. Weekly water changes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brightwell Aquatics ShrimpCode - Trace and Minor Elements for Shrimp and Other Freshwater River Fishes, 500 ml - Brightwell Aquatics Shrimp Florin Multi - Multi-Nutrient Fertilizer for Planted Shrimp or Freshwater Fish Aquarium with Iron, 500 ml - Brightwell Aquatics Shrimp Vitamarin F - Freshwater Multivitamin Supplement for All Shrimp, Other Crustaceans and Fish, 125 ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/387636265-shrimpcode-trace-and-minor-elements-for-shrimp-and-other-freshwater](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/387636265-shrimpcode-trace-and-minor-elements-for-shrimp-and-other-freshwater) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
