ASF71104 Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp for Fresh and Saltwater Fish, 10gm

This is probably the fish's favorite meal in my tank. I use flakes, pellets, blood worms, algae wafers, and these. All fish in the tank go crazy and will attack this when I drop it in until it breaks apart into many different pieces, and then they devour them. I must say that I'm really surprised at how much these small pieces expand and break up once you drop them into the tank. They break up into many different brine shrimp, so put in a smaller piece than you think you need. My tank: 6 Danio Glofish 6 Tetra Glofish 12 Jumbo Neon Tetras 6 Cory Cats 20 Cherry shrimp

Good quality, fresh treat for our fish (blood red parrot cichlid). He goes crazy for it!

Don't be like me and wait too long to learn that the ingredients contained in the standard flake or pellet food are inadequate. I have a few larger sized fantail goldfish in a 40 gallon tank. Since I am a casual fish owner I just always assumed the flake food and pellets contained the correct ingredients to provide a fish with a balanced diet. I was wrong. And, now I am looking at my most favorite fish in the tank next to me sitting on the bottom of the tank suffering with constipation. For months this fish would swim and lay upside down. It was upside down as much as it was right side up. It wasn't until it stopped swimming altogether that I realized I had neglected to balance it's diet properly and it is severly constipated. Brine shrimp are recommended to prevent this condition. And, your fish won't necessarily exhibit clear signs like mine did. So, add this item to your fishes diet and do them a favor. My fish love it, and go crazy when it hits the water. Time will tell if I waited too long for the upside swimming fish. In my opinion there are a lot of fillers in this product. It is difficult to tell by the label (see below) since I don't know the make-up of brine shrimp, just basing that on appearance. But, there is a product out there that is not in chunk form and is not grey-ish in color. It is pure, freeze dried brine shrimp. No fillers. When you open the bottle there are literally small shrimp you take out one by one to feed the fish. I won't mention the brand or store out of respect for this product, because it works great also!

This is my common goldfish's favorite food. He also loves diced up, peeled peas. But we generally give him a variety of food (dried blood worms, peeled peas, goldfish flakes) and this is the one he is most excited about. He can identify the container, too, so he swims to the feeding corner and slaps at the top of the water when he sees this come out. Sometimes they come in dried cubes that we break up before feeding, but the latest container was already all broken up into little pieces. So they're not 100% consistent but I think the freshness and flavor is the same based on Daddy Fish's reaction.

I’m still figuring out how to feed it to my fish without it crumbling and having food on the aquarium floor. It comes in small crumbly chunks, and gets powdery when you try to pinch a piece off to feed the fish. But the fish loves it. Will take it right from my finger.

It is freeze dried brine shrimp in a cube form, not live brine shrimp. I have a small Solar pond with a small school of fish next to my deck. The fish go bonkers for this. I crush the cubes up into a fine powder and throw them in the pond after I get home from work. The fish are always waiting for me. Watching them gobble up the brine shrimp is so much fun. Highly recommend!

This is a very high quality food, get it. The only thing I think would make it better was if it had more in the container. But this is some good stuff to be sure.

San Francisco Bay Brand is a well-respected producer of quality fish food, so you can definitely buy this with confidence on that point. And freeze dried brine shrimp is a great food that many fish LOVE. I especially like it because you can crumble it up really, really fine and feed it to fry. However - this is a pretty small container. Pay attention to that 1.6 ounce weight noted up above on this page. If you only have a couple of fish, this is just the right size. I have four tanks (I know, I know...), so next time I will buy a larger can to get a better deal. The current price is more than you need to be paying, unless a can this small will last you more than 2 months.

Good fish food, can use long time
