Administrators Cory Posted January 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 25, 2021 Sure, they'll eat it up. Guppies aren't too picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowells Fish Lab Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I have some decapsulated eggs that I haven't tried using yet because I encountered an article suggesting that while they are edible, they aren't often digested well. Evidence for that was examining feces from multiple feedings under a microscope and finding that most of the material was still intact after passing through the fish. On the other hand, I've checked waste under a microscope from some of my fish that happened to catch a few unhatched eggs and found them to be busted open and empty. If they can get some value out of unhatched eggs I can't imagine the decapped eggs would hurt. The article made me apprehensive but I would love to find that they are safe and useful.

Lowells Fish Lab Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I'm pretty sure this is the one I read or at least makes the same point. https://angelsplus.com/pages/feeding-decapsulated-brine-shrimp-eggs It never gave the impression that they were harmful, just not as readily digested as other foods and so less useful. I would love to find out that this is anecdotal and that they are useful. They were expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
