Hikari Bio-Pure Freeze Dried Spirulina Brine Shrimp Cubes for Pets, 1.76-Ounce

I go through these like crazy and I hate forking out the money on them because they are quite expensive, but the results are priceless. The fish love them and their growth rates are fantastic with great colors to boot too!

Fish love this! However, if you decide to break the cubes make sure you use a knife. If you do not use something sharp, they'll basically just crumble. This is great for all types of fish as a supplement.

I typically buy a big 1 lb bag of Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp however, they were out of stock so I tried this. I have also re-purchased because it's good. I like to mix this with the regular, non-spirulina spiked brine shrimp because I have a fish pig. Yes, a pig fishy, otherwise known as a Fire Eel, who has decided THIS is his primary staple food. He comes up to the tank and eats out of my hand. And he eats quite a lot. I give this, or rather, he gives this product 2 fins up.

The packaging is very nice, and the cubes dissolve in the water fairly well and quickly. The fish eat it well enough, but they prefer other foods. The only issue is that the cubes I got were really large (thumb sized). Too much food for my 4 mid-sized freshwater cichlids. They may be good for larger stocks though, or you can just break them up.The can also smells fairly strongly of veggie matter, but that’s to be expected of all fish food.

My fish, (mostly tetras, corydoras and kribensis) practically leap out of the tank for this brine shrimp. A can of it goes way too fast. They have often proved finicky about some flake foods, but this is second only to frozen foods in their cuisine esteem. I highly recommend your giving it a try. Even if the cost is a little dear for the amount you get. Also, the lid can be a hassle. Watch out! You'll think it's secure and it won't be. The product inside makes my fish happy and healthy so I'll deal with the minor hassles.

it floats and there for much is wasted. Additionally after re hydrating the food it still floats. Further we have a feed button that will turn off the pump for feeding and the food still floats so the more timid fish will not fo the the surface to eat. Much waste.

25-30% dust in bottom of can.

If you want to keep algae down this is about as low phosphate as you can get.
