Why Choose Live Adult Brine Shrimp

• Freshly bottled at Squeaky's. Prepared locally so you can pick up an active, fresh bottle.
• Natural movement. Swimming prey can encourage picky fish and other livestock to feed.
• Versatile live food. Suitable for many freshwater fish, marine fish, and reef animals that can handle adult-size brine shrimp.
• Great feeding enrichment. Chasing live food encourages natural hunting behavior.
