AQUAV Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp

AQUAV Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp

AQUAV Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp is a single-ingredient fish food made for young and small fish. It supplies essential nutrients in a bite-sized form. It suits South African freshwater aquarists who want a simple, high-protein food for small fish.

Key Benefits

• Nutrients locked in: the brine shrimp are freeze-dried to preserve the nutrients your fish need.
• Made for small mouths: a suitable food for young fish and small species that need a fitting portion size.
• Pure ingredient list: 100% brine shrimp, with nothing else on the label.
• Protein-rich: a guaranteed minimum of 62% crude protein and 20% crude fat.
• Low moisture: a maximum of 10% moisture, as you'd expect from a freeze-dried food.

How to Use

Offer only as much as your fish will eat in a few minutes, then watch how quickly the portion disappears. Remove any food still left once the feeding window has passed. Uneaten food breaks down and affects water quality, especially in warm South African summers.

Dosage

• Feed as much as your fish can consume within 2–3 minutes.
• Repeat 2–3 times per day.

Suitable For

• Young fish being raised in freshwater aquariums
