More Information
The Ocean Nutrition Micro Artemia Cysts are a premium choice for aquarists and breeders who demand the highest quality in live food for their fish larvae. Compared to standard Artemia eggs, they offer significant advantages in size, nutrition, and hatching performance.
Why choose Ocean Nutrition Micro Artemia Cysts?
-
Optimal size for first feeding
At just 430 µm, the nauplii are smaller than standard Artemia (typically 480–500 µm), making them perfect for feeding even the most delicate fish larvae. -
Exceptional hatch rate & yield
With over 95 % hatch success and up to 300,000 nauplii per gram, these cysts provide maximum efficiency and superior food availability. -
High in Omega-3 HUFA
Each gram contains 15 mg of essential Omega-3 fatty acids (mainly EPA). This ensures optimal nutrition without the need for enrichment – unlike many standard Artemia products. -
Fast & synchronous hatching
Under optimal conditions, 95 % of nauplii hatch within just 16–18 hours. This guarantees a predictable and uniform supply of live feed, while regular Artemia often hatch slower and unevenly. -
Premium quality, laboratory tested
Ocean Nutrition is known for its strict quality control, scientific research, and close collaboration with hatcheries and marine biologists. The result: clean, safe, and highly reliable Artemia cysts.
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place (ideally refrigerated at <4 °C) to maintain optimal hatch rate.
With Ocean Nutrition Micro Artemia Cysts, you provide your fish larvae with premium live food that ensures strong, healthy development – trusted by professionals and hobbyists alike.
