Ocean Nutrition Instant Baby Brine Shrimp

Ocean Nutrition Instant Baby Brine Shrimp gives you all the benefits of freshly hatched baby brine shrimp with none of the hatchery mess. Each bottle holds more than 1.5 million ready-to-use decapsulated Artemia nauplii suspended in saline, nutritionally identical to live newly-hatched brine shrimp. Just scoop and feed. It is a perfect first food for fry and small fish in both freshwater and marine tanks. Pair it with a grow-out staple like our Community Formula Flakes.

Why It's Handy

• No hatching required: skip the brine shrimp hatchery, the air pumps, and the daily setup.
• Instant first food: ideal for newly-free-swimming fry, bettas, small fish, and reef feeders.
• Stays in the water column: the nauplii have excellent buoyancy so fish can pick them off easily.
• Fresh or salt: works in freshwater and marine aquariums, and for corals and other tiny filter feeders.

How to Feed

Shake gently, then use the included mini-spoon to offer only as much as your fish finish in about five minutes. Feed several times a day for growing fry. For the smallest fry, you can strain a portion in a fine net and rinse before feeding.

Storage

The unopened jar is shelf-stable and can be kept at room temperature. Once opened, keep it refrigerated and use it within about six weeks for best quality.
