Ocean Nutrition Instant Baby Brine Shrimp Eggs 0.7oz 20g in Saline Solution

Fish absolutely LOVE this. Shrimp, snails, guppies, and baby guppies. They can't get enough. It seems to be very healthy too, for the babies are growing quickly. Pet preference? Anything in an aquarium? Value for money is perfect too. Yeah, it's a bit costly, but do you think that when you go for a steak over a pork chop? Not really variety, but it has all the nutrients they need. Mine lasts about 4 weeks, but it can last 6 weeks. Then again, I have baby guppies too, so...

Finally! I wish I'd have purchased this product first. The jar is super small, be careful upon opening it could get REALLY messy. Use the scoop too, a little goes a VERY long way. I have African Dwarf Frog tadpoles, and so far they have been "eating" crushed tadpole pellets, fry powder, and Liquifry #2. Unfortunately, I could never visually see them actually eating until now, and these previous products made the baby tank super cloudy, messy, and everything wound up making a disgusting sludge on the bottom of the 2.5 tank. It seemed like I was just wasting the products. A miniscule spoon of this, instantly there was artemia all over the place, and they don't settle! The filter pump is blowing them all over the place as if they were alive! The tads sprang to life like I had electrified the water. And this is the first time I actually saw them open their mouths. I was really thinking I needed to get into the stinky business of raising live brine shrimp for them to fully develop, but now I know - no way. This is fantastic. They were darting around, sucking them up, and as much as little tadpoles can look happy, these tadpoles definitely did. This has been an expensive hobby to date. Started with a 5 gallon tank and 6 frogs in April. I guess the planted tank, the frozen bloodworms, and Mopani wood made the conditions almost immediately perfect for breeding as they started singing almost immediately. By early May, my frogs were producing eggs almost every night. Everything I read said how difficult this was. As long as the water parameters were correct, weekly water changes, and feeding them every other day, it was a breeze. The eggs I would scoop out and put into a fishbowl. Most would not develop or the shock of moving them was a factor, I believe. I decided it is much better to leave the eggs in the tank until they hatch and use a baster to remove them 1-3 days later once I saw them swimming around the adult tank before they became a snack. In the fishbowl, they did fine. Daily water changes, powdered fish fry, and I kept them pretty warm. Once three got big, I got a 2.5 gallon tank, a good mini LED light, a small adjustable filter, and a line with an air stone. Now, I basically have an assembly line. Mortality rate is high at first, but it is important to separate the bigger ones from the small ones as SOON as it is possible for they do eat the little ones (so bummed). Honestly, I think all the foods I was using was going to waste because the bigger ones were eating the batches of smaller ones... now I know. But if you're wanting to raise ADFs, this stuff is fantastic. I would say it's a must. I am sorry about having lost all of those babies, please don't make my mistakes I would never have let that happen had I known. Having this stuff may have saved them... I will try to add photos soon...

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.

I think I may have been a little misled by another reviewer's video, which showed her betta eating larger baby brine shrimp than what I received. My shrimp were baby brine shrimp, so small they're best intended for *baby* fish. Even if I merely feed a fraction of the spoon into the tank, a cloud of of shrimp disperses, only some of which are individually discernible to my naked eye. Of course, my betta has better eyesight given his smaller size and olfactory sensors. I worry he's not able to gobble them all up before they disperse throughout, so I'm hesitant to feed these unless it's water change day. Still, he does go nuts for the shrimp he can detect, and spends a good amount of time exploring the tank for hours as I think he still senses shrimp in the water, but just can't find. It keeps him occupied, which is lovely. A food your betta will love, but it's easy to overfeed and I'd be very hesitant to feed this often in smaller tanks or where water changes aren't performed often.

I was very disappointed with this item... The manufacturer specifically states that it has buoyancy, and therefore won't cloud your tank, and it's all the opposite. I used just a wee bit of it, the first time, on my Siamese Beta tank, which has not air pumps, so the water is still, and these brine shrimp eggs immediately sank to the bottom. My Beta had no chance to eat them, and instead, I'll have to change the water and clean the tank asap. I do not recommend them.

This is the baby betta fry food you want to get because I've been feeding other ones and even though my fish ate it like it was really slow but this stuff as soon as I put it in my betta fries are about from the hatching stage nine days old today these ones my beta fries swam up and started eating off the leaves all the other food you know of course I had to put snails down in there because they just wasn't eating the food and it was sinking to the bottom I didn't want to turn the filter on yet this is my first time with baby fry I hatched out baby snails before breeding Alexander and Sophie so so far so good they're so small though I had the hardest time even finding them after I took Alexander out I thought he ate them all the only way I can describe what they look like and I know it's hilarious but if your child ever had head lice and you ever pulled an actual hatching half hatching lice off of a hair strand that's what to look for in the water they're that small like literally you have to turn off all the lights and shine a flashlight through the tank to even see them 😂lol but anyway back to the review so I was iffy on buying any of the beta fry food with claims that it was small enough for baby betta fry. And even though there's some bad reviews on here for this product I will just go ahead and buy it because like I said I was iffy too and passed this over and put it to in my save later cart and bought some of the other ones that my baby fry wasn't happy with it comes with a little spoon so what I did was I just dipped my spoon down in it without actually getting a clump out and then I dab on top of the water above the leaves all around in my tank and small amounts and these ones actually stay suspended longer than the other stuff as well. give it a try mine wasn't spoiled or ruined or had any brownness on it it was fresh it came in a sealed pack and a sealed lid that popped up when I opened it with a tab over it.

My betta likes it. I got them without reading the fine print and I thought, based on the label, that it was eggs. It turns out it's just little dead animals in a jar. My bad so I can't be angry about that. The smell is definitely unique. It's kind of like a carrot, if a carrot had an attitude problem and took your sister to prom after promising to take you to prom. The little scoop thing is handy but you do have to shake them up or stir them before you can scoop it out. I'm not 100% sure how good they are for the fish after being opened and stored in the fridge. I'm pretty sure there's going to be some kind of degradation in nutrients rather quickly. Good news is, based on my fish's responses I have now set up a small gallon jar so that I can raise daphia and moina.

Excellent choice for feeding those tiny fry! My Polar Blue Parrot Cichlids decided to 'mess around' awhile back and found themselves with lots of little babies not too long ago (He must have fell in love because they had more just a few days ago) .. Anyhow, I was able to suck most of them up into a turkey baster type thing and place them into an acrylic breeder that I purchased here on Amazon (Excellent in tank container) .. I did research and found this "Instant Baby Brine Shrimp" and they all seem to love it. I know that they are eating it because I watch them with a magnifying glass to see if they are eating it, and they definitely are! 1 jar seemed to last me about 3 weeks. I am on my 2nd jar now. I squirt some aquarium water into a re-usable Dixie cup them add 1 of the spoonful's (spoon is included) into the cup. I feed then just a little bit of it throughout the day and 1 good feeding at night, then repeat the process the next day. It seems to be doing the trick!

My guppies loved it..and so did my baby betta. Perfect product as it disperses in water and fishes go hunting after it as they would after the live ones

Absolutely brilliant. My WCMM go mad when they see me approach with the jar. It is much easier than harvesting them yourself and a lot less messy. Might be more expensive but the little jar lasts for ages if kept in the fridge. My one piece of advice is don’t shake the bottle; just give it a good stir with the little ladle provided. If you shake the bottle the shrimp collects around the neck of the jar, stays there drys out and you’ve lost it. Plus, it will make the jar smell and I think spoil the fresh shrimp in the jars liquid. All told, highly recommend.

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.
