ARTEMIA / BRINE SHRIMP Great Salt Lake 95% - 40g These cysts have been decapsulated thereby increasing hatch rate, increasing nutritional profile, and making them ideal for larval fish. Due to the decapsulation process however they must be stored refrigerated and only have a shelf life of 6-8 weeks. Artemia or Brine Shrimp are a good source of live food for most aquarium fish. Artemia can be purchased in cyst/egg form, either whole or de-capsulated. They can be hatched out at home fairly easily in salt water at a temperature of around 25°C. Provide sufficient aeration to keep the cysts in suspension. Once hatched, the Artemia can be fed a variety of enrichment products before feeding to aquarium fish. Newly hatched enriched Artemia are a great food source for larval fish due to their small size and ability to absorb enrichment products. Adult Artemia are great for larger fish either enriched, or just as a treat of live food rather than just the usual frozen or flake food. To make the most of your artemia cultures, we suggest you use AquaZ Triplex to reduce the build up of toxic ammonia and increase growth and survivability. You can find Triplex in our Additives section To grow out the artemia to adults, we recommend feeding them Tetraselmis algae concentrate or Phytofeast (sometimes called greenwater). This acts as a very nutritious food for the artemia, as well as making the artemia a very nutritious food source for your fish and invertebrates (see our store for quality enrichment products). On average it takes between 2 and 3 weeks for artemia to reach adulthood and begin to breed themselves. For a full rundown on how to culture your own Brine Shrimp, there is a great article in Reef Culture Magazine Edition One by Tracy Warland from the South Australian Seahorse Marine Services - an excellent read! See our store for details on the magazine. M&M Aquarium Supplies is a reputable business owned and operated as a joint interest between Bribie Aquariums and Reefculture.
