From what I can make out (the non blurry parts, I can kind of guess what the blurry parts say, but...)

Filled with many of the nutrients that shrimp require, you can expect them to grow (well, etc. can't really make out this part).

The front does not say anything about what is inside.

I wanna say my scape baby food is the same thing or close as frank of ebiken designed it. My package says.

"A high-protein powder containing the necessary nutrients and amino acids to promote higher growth and survival rates of young shrimp."

Mine also smells sweet like chocolate, protein powder and fish cake.

That SCAPE food looks good too.

BW bebi has little black sand particles in them, I don;t know what the black stuff is... and Bw bebi smells like bread

I'm so tempted to eat it

Well, I think bebi and Ei are fundamentally different. Bebi is mainly yeast and rice bran, whereas Ei is purely bacteria. They accomplish similar things, which is becoming a food for baby shrimp, but I've never seen shrimp quite go nuts for Bebi as they do for Ei, and I've used and sold both in the past. Ei is pretty unique, shrimp seem to smell it right away and attack. The babies grow up pretty quickly on it too.

It's also something that my cardinals will eat, and they wont touch anything else (aka, spinach, other prepared foods, fish flakes, etc.)

I appreciate the feedback on products like this. I ordered a package of the Ei from mordalphus based on the comments here. Guess my shrimp are like everyone else's as mine were dancing around and really active after I put the powder in. Look forward to seeing how the baby shrimp do with it.
