Ocean Nutrition Instant Baby Brine Shrimp 20g

Excellent product. I have 11 Fantail which I never intended to raise but hey ho, that sums us aquarists up- a few eggs in our aquariums and we all get excited! Even more so with an oranda or black moor spawning!!! After contemplating what to do with the eggs I transferred the plant that had eggs left before mum and dad ate the lot, helped them hatch, began with liquify No1, baby brine shrimp not available by me and as this was an unplanned spawning I did not have a shrimp hatchery set up, so, after watching a YouTube video about this, i ordered about the time the fry reached a week old. They LOVE it. As I only have 11 (was 12 but 1 was deformed) I shake the jar, take the lid off and with a clean little finger I scoop a very small amount and wiggle it in the surface water. Although it looks like a tiny amount, that tiny plop on my finger spreads very fast. I haven't had any die. They fill their tummies, swim around happily, helps with the growth of fins and with the water changes, these babies are growing perfectly. I have added a photo of one at 10 days afyer feeding instant baby brine shrimp, it shows fins producing nicely. It's also fantastic for pregnant guppies (they know what's good for them) and Neon tetras as they have trouble eating bigger foods. ( they do try though!) As for it spoiling in the time limit, it really shouldn't be used for longer that stated anyway as fry should be big enough to eat larger foods like Adult Artemia, Bloodworm, Daphnia etc. I hope this review helps. I find the product excellent.

I am trying to hatch my own brine shrimp eggs, with some success, but this product never lets me down if I fail to produce my own, the fish love it to the point where I sometimes wonder why am I bothering to hatch my own when my fish ( fry and larger) always eat this product

My fish absolutely love these! They kept well in the fridge, great size, eaten quickly. Good value I think, they lasted a while. Do go through some strange 'smell' phases though, so be warned.

This jar of baby brine shrimp are just as good as live BBS, I’ve used both, I’ve hatched my own, although quite expensive, it’s 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.

Ok, but just looks like a load of liquid

4 stars because it arrived damaged, with the lid dented, and started leaking. No horrendous odour or anything so I assume the damage was recent. I still think it's fit for purpose as it's fish food. My chili rasboras seemed to like this a lot. It was the perfect size for them and they chased it when I fed them. In terms of value for money, while I would have liked the jar to be bigger (think the little jam jars they give you in supermarket cafés with your toast) I found myself only using a tiny amount per feeding, so I think it will last a fair amount of time. (Plus I only have the one shoal of nano fish, if you have a large shoal or several tanks it might not be enough for you.) Around £6 seemed a little on the step size, but if it has the shelf like that other reviews claim it does, and with me only having a small shoal of chilis it's looks like it'll do for their needs - bearing in mind I'm also feeding them micro flakes and copepods, not exclusively this. It's in the fridge currently, sealed inside some tupperware and hopefully it'll last a few months. I think this will be useful for mixing up the variety of the food I give the chilis. I think it would also be useful for fry and other nano fish. I will maybe buy this again as it does seem good and the fish seem to like it.

Product as described

First time using Ocean nutrition baby brine, got to say .....very impressed. My tanks erupt when I feel this. Everything from my adult Khuli's to the baby Pygmy Cory's go mad for it, in a way I've never seen before.. It's quite economical too. This'll last a while too

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.

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.

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.
