adam6am Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I wondered what people thought about feeding decapsulated brine shrimp eggs? I have two smallish tanks, so hatching brine shrimp isn't really worth it. But I have some finicky small fish - ember tetra, rasboras and some small corys - and I was thinking of trying out decapsulated eggs. (They're super cheap too!) Do they have the same nutritional value. Do fish like them? Drawbacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat_Rigel Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Yhe main benefit of live baby brine is the "live" part. All that wiggling around motivates picky eaters to eat, so ideally you would still be hatching the decapsulated shrimp. I suppose you could feed it without hatching it, but I think you would be losing the best part of what brine shrimp is. Decapsulated brine is usually more expensive. I have heard good things about Vibra bites for picky eaters, but have not used it myself. Perhaps give that a try? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I hatch the descapsulated brine shrimp eggs prior to feeding to my fish. Same nutritional value, just minus the shells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have limited fish to feed also. I have two of this little hatchery. They love the live food! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
