Peqon Decapsulated Brine Shrimp-Eggs (Artemia Cysts)

Peqon Decapsulated Brine Shrimp Eggs are an excellent option for aquarium hobbyists and breeders looking for easy-to-use fry food without the need for an Artemia hatchery. The shell-free Artemia cysts provide a convenient source of protein, lipids and essential fatty acids as part of a varied diet for growing fish.

The product is particularly useful when raising Guppy fry, Betta fry, Tetra fry, Angelfish fry and other small ornamental fish. It can also be used for juvenile and adult fish that readily accept small particulate foods.

How to Use

The product is designed to be fed directly without hatching. One retailer recommends soaking the dried eggs in cold water for around 10–15 minutes before feeding. Feed a small quantity that the fish can consume within approximately 3–5 minutes.

For fry, start with small portions and adjust feeding according to the number and size of fish. Avoid excessive feeding to help maintain aquarium water quality.
