Описание
Frozen artemia, or brine shrimp, is a highly nutritious, frozen food source for a wide range of aquarium fish, including tropical, marine, and some coldwater species. It is rich in protein, omega fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, and its small size and high palatability stimulate appetite and aid digestion. Manufacturers flash-freeze the artemia to preserve its nutrients, and it is often sterilized to ensure it is free of parasites and pathogens.
Key features and benefits
Rich in protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that support healthy growth and vibrant coloration.
Stimulates feeding, even among picky or fussy eaters, due to its natural scent and taste.
Considered easy to digest, which can lead to reduced waste in the aquarium.
Many products are sterilized using gamma irradiation to eliminate parasites and pathogens.
Suitable for a variety of fish, from small fry to larger carnivorous and omnivorous species, and is often used for both freshwater and marine environments.
Often sold in individual cubes for easy feeding, which can be dropped directly into the tank after a quick thaw.
Usage and storage
A small cube is typically dropped into the aquarium, either frozen or slightly thawed, and any uneaten food should be removed after a few minutes.
Keep the product frozen. If the package is shipped frozen and partially thaws during transit, it should be refrozen immediately to maintain freshness and quality.
