Ocean Nutrition Instant Baby Brine Shrimp Eggs 0.7oz (20g) in Saline Solution, Fish Tank Fry, Betta & Tropical Fish Food for Saltwater & Freshwater Aquarium

Some of the other reviews on here really bothered me. This is an AWESOME product! It's easy to use, it's insanely convenient to get in a pinch because of the fast shipping, fish generally gravitate toward it, and it does not cloud the water. I purchased it yesterday for my shoal of baby pea puffers. They're notorious for being picky eaters and this is the 5th food (1st preserved) that I've tried. So far, so good. I also feed live food and frozen, but this is proving to be a hit with some of the skinnier baby peas. On that note, this is an easy food to mix in with some dewormer if that's something that comes up. Now, to address the mistakes in others' reviews. 1. No, this is not a live product. The description literally says, "non-living brine shrimp." Is it possible that some eggs got through and hatched during shipment, and therefore were briefly alive upon arrival? Maybe. Is it more likely that water current caused the shrimps to look like they were darting around? Yes. Because that's what water current does. It's not rocket science. 2. The description says "baby" brine shrimp. So if you're expecting bigger shrimp, you're going to be disappointed. The individual shrimps are no larger than the size of a period in 12 point font. It's perfect for fry or picky nano fish. It does not suit bigger fish. 3. This product does not kill fish unless you've done something wrong. Do not over feed. Remove uneaten food. Turn off the filter while feeding so the food doesn't get sucked into it and create an ammonia spike. Again. Not rocket science. 4. If you're having trouble getting through it all within 6 weeks, freeze a portion. Should I mention the rocket science thing again? 5. This food is really, really buoyant for the type of product it is. Keep in mind it is a solid food. It's not a flake or freeze-dried food. It's denser than water and it does sink. However, it floats around with the current for a good couple of minutes in freshwater and is very easy to stir up. Anyway. This was a great find. I will be purchasing again in the future.

Nice product but you goat gage it right the lil spoon is actually a lot more than anticipated I dropped two spoons in a 29g tank and wow over feed was easily achieved stuck to the moss in tank after Dialing it in you definitely gotta give them enough to devour in allotted time go slow use a small water bottle to do feeding you can gauge from that I have a 40 fry and this stuff makes them grow nutritious as heck for them great treat for fry and juvenile polar blue parrots

Have used this stuff a lot through an Amazon subscription. The fish love it and it works very well for small/"nano" fish (my neon tetras love it too). The particles are small and truly suspend in the water unlike most options. Keeps in the fridge for about 4-6 weeks if you don't double dip with the scoop it comes with. The older it is, the fishier and runnier it seems to get. I usually open a new one every 6 weeks for my 20 gallon aquarium (I probably use it every 3-4 days). There is a natural seafood smell to it. I would assume anyone getting a bad batch would be an isolated incident (I have gotten at least 30 of them). Don't leave it baking in your mailbox.

Thought these were alive. My guys won’t eat them. :(

This is a fantastic food for finicky tiny fish, I do have Chili Rasboras who are so tiny that they just ignore any food of traditional size especially if it sink too fast. The instruction says to shake well before opening and this has to be done every time you have to open it BUT.... the lid on the bottle is not perfectly sealed and some food spills from it every single time you shake it after the first opening. Other than that, it is great, food particles float long enough in the water column for the tiny monsters to feed on it which is very difficult with any other kind of food.

Okay, so I bought this Ocean Nutrition Baby Brine Shrimp stuff, and honestly? It's been a lifesaver. I've got a bunch of tiny fry in my tank, and they're super picky eaters. Trying to hatch brine shrimp myself was a total pain, so this ready-to-go jar has been amazing. Seriously, it's so easy. Just scoop out a little with the tiny spoon they give you, and boom, fish food! My little guys are gobbling it up, and I've definitely seen them growing faster. Plus, it's not just for fry – my corals and even my smaller fish are loving it. The fact that it's good for both freshwater and saltwater is a huge plus for me since I have both types of tanks. And you get a ton of brine shrimp in one jar! It's definitely worth the price, especially with the discount I got. Just remember to stick it in the fridge after you open it. I'm really happy with this purchase, and I'll definitely be buying it again.

Very small container but might be good in a pinch

Very good source of protein for fry.

Excellent product. I have 11 Fantail which I never intended to raise but hey ho, that sums us aquarists up- a few eggs in our aquariums and we all get excited! Even more so with an oranda or black moor spawning!!! After contemplating what to do with the eggs I transferred the plant that had eggs left before mum and dad ate the lot, helped them hatch, began with liquify No1, baby brine shrimp not available by me and as this was an unplanned spawning I did not have a shrimp hatchery set up, so, after watching a YouTube video about this, i ordered about the time the fry reached a week old. They LOVE it. As I only have 11 (was 12 but 1 was deformed) I shake the jar, take the lid off and with a clean little finger I scoop a very small amount and wiggle it in the surface water. Although it looks like a tiny amount, that tiny plop on my finger spreads very fast. I haven't had any die. They fill their tummies, swim around happily, helps with the growth of fins and with the water changes, these babies are growing perfectly. I have added a photo of one at 10 days afyer feeding instant baby brine shrimp, it shows fins producing nicely. It's also fantastic for pregnant guppies (they know what's good for them) and Neon tetras as they have trouble eating bigger foods. ( they do try though!) As for it spoiling in the time limit, it really shouldn't be used for longer that stated anyway as fry should be big enough to eat larger foods like Adult Artemia, Bloodworm, Daphnia etc. I hope this review helps. I find the product excellent.

Easier way to feed the fry as they come in readymade form supplier

Perfecto para sacar adelante las crías.

Bought this as an alternative food for Moon Jellyfish and it works great! Stays in the water column much better than the dried jellyfish food and there is no need to re-hydrate since its already in a solution. Plus its WAYYY easier than hatching your own baby brine shrimp which I don't think is worth the effort. Highly recommended for jellyfish.

Prodotto comodo per l'allevamento di avannotti di specie che non accettano il cibo secco. Molto più pratico alimentare con questo prodotto piuttosto che gestire per settimane la schiusa delle uova di artemia. Sulla confezione riporta una durata di 6 settimane dopo l'apertura, ma generalmente dopo 4 settimane il prodotto inizia a fare cattivo odore (come è naturale che sia) e io preferisco buttare il pochissimo che mi resta ed usarne uno nuovo. Sicuramente consigliato.
