Frozen Spirulina Brine Shrimp review

Submitted by AquariumsLife.com on January 4, 2010 – 9:08 amNo Comment

Spirulina Brine Shrimp reviewDESCRIPTION
These brine shrimp are fed a bio-enriched diet that includes Spirulina. Spirulina algae are rich in vitamins, carotenoids and minerals. Although excellent for day to day feeding, this product can be fed to your fish prior to a stressful situation, such as a move or a transfer, to help boost the immune system.


REVIEW
Frozen brine shrimp is the food every fish will eat voraciously. It is good for fresh and saltwater fish. I usually break up a cube in a cup of water, rince it to remove phosphate and then pour that into the tank.
That food is not particularly nutritious so it is not a good idea to feed your fish exclusively with brine shrimp. However,

I like feed them brine shrimp once or twice a week and also use brine shrimps for enticing reluctant feeders to eat.

Spirulina brine shrimps have been feed with sprulina to make them more nutritious than the plain variety. I made a quick search and found some information about spirulina enriched and plain brine shrimps:

Spirulina enriched
Crude Protein Min 4.50%
Crude Fat Min 0.40%
Crude Fiber Max 0.50%
