Artemia Food for Raising Brine Shrimp, Made From Freeze-Dried Microalgae
Easy Reefs Artemia is 15g of freeze-dried Tetraselmis chuii, a marine microalgae. Microalgae are tiny plant-like cells that live in the sea. This feed is made for culturing artemia, also called brine shrimp, and other crustaceans. Freeze-drying keeps the same nutrition as live microalgae, including vitamins, essential fatty acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Tetraselmis chuii is high in antioxidants and easy to digest. Easy Reefs uses this one species at 100% for balanced nutrition at every stage, from newly hatched shrimp to adults.
Key Features:
- 100% Tetraselmis chuii, one microalgae species chosen for balanced nutrition
- High in antioxidants and highly digestible
- Dosing by culture size: 100 mg per 10 L (2.6 gal) per day for days 1 to 5, then 200 mg per day
- Freeze-dried to keep the nutrition of live microalgae
- Best used within 4 months of opening when kept dry, dark, and closed
Ideal For:
- Hobbyists who hatch artemia from cysts and need a feed for the first days after hatching
- Culturists who raise other crustaceans and need a microalgae feed
- Anyone who wants dry, freeze-dried microalgae instead of keeping live phytoplankton cultures
Pro Tips:
- Check the water color after you feed. If the culture water turns clear within a few hours, the microalgae have been eaten. Add more.
- Mix only what you will use. Leftover mixed microalgae loses nutrition, even in the refrigerator, because it oxidizes.
- Keep the container dry, dark, and closed. Moisture from condensation breaks down the microalgae, so avoid humid spots.
