Live Brine Shrimp (Artemia)

Description

Nutrition
Live brine shrimp are high in protein, amino acids, and fats, and are more nutritionally complete than most dry or frozen foods. They also contain enzymes that help fish use other feeds better.

Digestion
Brine shrimp are soft and easily digestible, and their chitinous exoskeletons promote digestive health.

Growth
Fish fed live brine shrimp grow faster and maintain better condition than those fed frozen or freeze-dried food.

Picky eaters
Live brine shrimp are a great food source for finicky eaters, as their swimming motion triggers a feeding response in fish.

Water quality
Live brine shrimp don’t break down in the aquarium if not eaten quickly, so they won’t affect water quality.

Disease
Brine shrimp originate in hyper-saline biotopes, so they are seldom vectors for diseases that affect fish.
