Question 1

What's the difference between this and the freeze dried brine shrimp without spirulina?  Is one better than the other?

Accepted Answer

2nd response I ordered from Amazon by Ocean Nutrition a a 1.2 oz spirulina flake and my Tetra tank seems to love it. I would not recommend the Brine shrimp as it brakes down to a fine powder and is sucked almost instantly into the canister filter in my 20 Gallon tank. I have had better luck with that companies Daphnie and blood worms.

Question 2

Will pea puffer eat it?

Accepted Answer

Pea puffer will most likely eat it

Question 3

Once some is soaked and rehydrated does this only float or will it sink? Thx

Accepted Answer

I like to put it in drie because my fish eat it from the top but when I soaked it or tapped it down it would sink .. or when its floating the bubbles will break the surface tension and let them sink. They usually sink slow enough for the fish to eat them before they hit the bottom

Question 4

What is the biggest difference (nutritional) between this and the Hikari Spirunlina Brine Shrimp Cubes?  I want to buy the best one.

Accepted Answer

I have jars of both the Hikari regular and spirulina version. I had purchased the regular before I found the spirulina. The only real difference I can tell is that one has spirulina. They both contain min 5.5%crude fat, max .5 crude fiber, max 6 moisture, and min .1% phosphorous. The spirulina version has min 48% crude protein, where the regular has min 47%.. So there might be a small difference in protein.The ingredients for both contain brine shrimp, Vitamin E, C, B1, B2, B6, B12, but the spirilina version of course has spirulina. In my opinion, the spirulina version offers more - extra green nutrients for your aquatic friends.
