Frozen Artemia (500gm)
Description
Frozen Artemia (also known as frozen brine shrimp) is a nutritious fish food commonly used in aquariums — especially for tropical fish, marine fish, and fry (baby fish).
Here’s a quick overview
What It Is?
Artemia is a type of brine shrimp, a small crustacean that lives in salty waters.
When frozen, it’s preserved to retain nutrients and freshness.
It’s sold in flat packs or blister cubes for easy feeding.
Why It’s Used?
High in protein, essential fatty acids, and natural pigments (enhances color in fish).
Helps stimulate appetite — especially for picky eaters or newly introduced fish.
Ideal for both freshwater and marine species.
Feeding Tips
Defrost before feeding (in tank water, not hot water).
Don’t overfeed — use only what fish can eat in 2–3 minutes.
Remove uneaten food to prevent water pollution.
Store frozen at –18°C or below to maintain quality.
