The benefits of Brine Shrimp - Artemia

The benefits of feeding live artemia are well known and accepted in the aquarium community. 

  • They are soft and easily digestible and contain enzymes that help fish to better utilise other feeds.
  • They are high in protein, ranging from 55% to 60% protein by dry weight, supporting rapid weight gain in young fish.
  • They can be enriched with our rotifer enrichment feed.
  • They can be fed to both marine and freshwater fish, surviving and swimming for hours — even in freshwater
  • They grow quickly, multiplying in weight 500-fold in three to four weeks and increasing in size from 450 microns to 1.5 centimeters in length.
