Customers say
Customers find the brine shrimp effective as fish food, particularly for smaller species, and appreciate its ease of use, with one noting it’s easier to use than frozen alternatives. The product works well for fry health, with one customer mentioning it’s great for weaning fry from rotifers. The shelf life and floatability receive mixed reviews – while some say it keeps for 6 weeks in the refrigerator and stays in the water column for a long time, others report it goes bad quickly and sinks to the bottom. Value for money opinions are divided between those who find it worth the price and those who consider it expensive.

Perfect Brine Shrimp Solution
Okay, so I bought this Ocean Nutrition Baby Brine Shrimp stuff, and honestly? It’s been a lifesaver. I’ve got a bunch of tiny fry in my tank, and they’re super picky eaters. Trying to hatch brine shrimp myself was a total pain, so this ready-to-go jar has been amazing.Seriously, it’s so easy. Just scoop out a little with the tiny spoon they give you, and boom, fish food! My little guys are gobbling it up, and I’ve definitely seen them growing faster. Plus, it’s not just for fry â my corals and even my smaller fish are loving it.The fact that it’s good for both freshwater and saltwater is a huge plus for me since I have both types of tanks. And you get a ton of brine shrimp in one jar! It’s definitely worth the price, especially with the discount I got. Just remember to stick it in the fridge after you open it. I’m really happy with this purchase, and I’ll definitely be buying it again.

Amazing product if you know what you’re doing
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.

Catfish are happy with this
Was the first time trying this product. I purchased it for some shadow catfish which prefer frozen food. I was worried whether they would eat it or not, but this worry was unnecessary. Just as it said, the food has a nice floating aspect to it and the fish love to eat it. It also comes with a nice small dosing spoon which is a great aid to use when feeding.It does not seem to foul up the water when you feed.One con- it does have a bit of a smell to it but that perhaps is how you know its a fresher food. You also do have to keep it in the fridge which some may not like, however this is not a bother for me. You do have to keep track of opening date.

Doesnât Float
Honestly super unhappy with this product. I took a chance and ordered it after reading the reviews and thought Iâd be able to use this for raising axolotl hatchlings. 95% of this product sunk immediately which is useless to me being that the babies Iâm raising need the product to float at the very least. They wonât hunt for food that has sunk. I tried it multiple times, watched the video, read every review and had no luck; it just sank. I had to find a way to hatch BBS overnight so that my babies didnât die. Iâm super disappointed that I wasted my money and there is not return/refund. Awful product!

Fantastic food but terrible lid
This is a fantastic food for finicky tiny fish, I do have Chili Rasboras who are so tiny that they just ignore any food of traditional size especially if it sink too fast. The instruction says to shake well before opening and this has to be done every time you have to open it BUT…. the lid on the bottle is not perfectly sealed and some food spills from it every single time you shake it after the first opening. Other than that, it is great, food particles float long enough in the water column for the tiny monsters to feed on it which is very difficult with any other kind of food.

Good but smells weird.
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.

Perfecto para sacar adelante las crÃas.

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.

This jar of baby brine shrimp are just as good as live BBS, Iâve used both, Iâve hatched my own, although quite expensive, itâs just as good. No complaints here, all of my fish love it, even the adults go crazy for it, and in return, my fish are the best colours they can be.

Prodotto comodo per l’allevamento di avannotti di specie che non accettano il cibo secco. Molto più pratico alimentare con questo prodotto piuttosto che gestire per settimane la schiusa delle uova di artemia. Sulla confezione riporta una durata di 6 settimane dopo l’apertura, ma generalmente dopo 4 settimane il prodotto inizia a fare cattivo odore (come è naturale che sia) e io preferisco buttare il pochissimo che mi resta ed usarne uno nuovo. Sicuramente consigliato.
