Why Live Artemia Nauplii?

For a beginner aquarist, feeding can be the most challenging part of the hobby. Artemia Nauplii (baby brine shrimp) are widely considered the “perfect” first food. Unlike flake food, live nauplii move energetically in the water column, stimulating the predatory instincts of young fish and ensuring they eat enough to thrive during their most vulnerable growth stages.

Benefits for Your Aquarium

• Optimal Growth: Packed with natural enzymes and proteins that support rapid development in fry.

• Vibrant Coloration: Contains natural carotenoids that enhance the brilliance of your fish’s scales.

• Water Quality: Since the food is alive, it stays suspended in the water and doesn’t rot immediately like dry food, helping maintain a cleaner tank.

• Universal Appeal: Ideal for saltwater reef tanks (corals/anemones) and freshwater community tanks alike.

Feeding Instructions for Beginners

1. Temperature Check: Allow the 90ml pouch to reach room temperature before feeding to avoid shocking your fish.

2. Dosage: Pour small amounts directly into the tank or use a pipette for targeted feeding (especially for corals).

3. Frequency: Feed only what your inhabitants can consume within a few minutes. For fry, multiple small feedings per day are better than one large one.

4. Rinsing (Optional): While the transport water is safe, many pros prefer pouring the nauplii through a fine sieve and rinsing with fresh/salt water before adding to the tank.

Pro Tip: Turn off your filters and powerheads for 5-10 minutes during feeding. This prevents the tiny nauplii from being sucked away before your fish can catch them!
