SFBB Mysis Shrimp Cube 3.5oz

San Francisco Bay Brand Mysis Shrimp are whole mysis shrimp (Mysis spp.), flash-frozen to preserve their high-protein, highly digestible nutrition. Mysis is one of the most reliable ways to get finicky marine fish eating, prized for tempting mandarins, seahorses, anthias, wrasses, and newly imported specimens, and it is readily accepted by most reef fish and many corals. This 3.5 oz box holds pre-portioned cubes for clean, mess-free feeding. Browse more of our frozen and prepared fish foods.

Why Mysis Shrimp

• Great for finicky marine fish. One of the best foods for coaxing picky or newly added saltwater fish into feeding.
• High protein, easy to digest. Rich, meaty nutrition that supports growth and conditioning without clouding the water when fed properly.
• Reef friendly. Small enough for many corals and filter feeders to capture, as well as small-mouthed fish.
• Pre-portioned cubes. Individual cubes let you feed exactly what your tank needs with no thawing waste.

How to Feed

1. Pop out one cube and thaw it in a small cup of tank water. Never microwave or refreeze.
2. Feed as a treat 2 to 3 times per week alongside a staple flake or pellet.
3. Offer only what your fish finish in a couple of minutes, then net out anything uneaten.
4. Return the box to the freezer right away to keep the remaining cubes solid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is mysis good for picky fish?
Mysis shrimp is highly palatable and closely resembles the natural prey of many marine fish, so it often triggers a feeding response in fish that ignore prepared foods. It is a go-to for getting mandarins, seahorses, and new arrivals eating.

Is this for freshwater or saltwater fish?
This box is marketed for all saltwater fish. For a version accepted by both fresh and saltwater tanks, the smaller SFBB Mysis Shrimp Mini Cube is a good option.

How often should I feed it?
Feed it as a treat 2 to 3 times a week alongside a balanced staple diet. Mysis is rich, so it works best as a supplement rather than a sole food.

How do I get it home still frozen?
We keep it in our freezer until you pick up, and we recommend an insulated bag such as the SFBB Fish Food Icebox for the trip home. Do not refreeze once it has thawed.
