Decapsulated Artemia Eggs – Fry & Breeding Feed
Decapsulated Artemia eggs are a highly digestible, protein-rich first food for raising fry. The hard outer shell has been removed, so the whole egg can be eaten and digested cleanly — no indigestible casings, and far less waste than feeding shelled cysts. The fine, powder-like particles sink slowly, which suits both mid-water fry and bottom-grazing pleco fry.
At 62% protein, it’s made for the stage right after the yolk sac is absorbed — when fry need easily digestible protein in small, frequent meals to grow well. Because it's so nutrient-dense, dose carefully — a little goes a long way.
Which fry it's for
- Betta fry — an excellent, easily digestible first food.
- Egg-laying community species — tetras and other characins, corydoras.
- Cave-spawning pleco fry — Hypancistrus and Peckoltia (all L-numbers), once the yolk sac is absorbed, around day 3–4 after hatching.
- Ancistrus fry — offer sparingly, about once a week.
Also works as a protein-rich variety food for juveniles and adults, and for conditioning breeders.
How to feed
Feed 1–2 times daily in very small amounts — only what they finish in a few minutes. Remove excess and avoid overfeeding to keep the water clean.
The easiest, most reliable method is using a simple plastic syringe (draw up some aquarium water, add a small amount of eggs, shake, and squirt).
The food can be:
- Sprinkled in a small pinch on the water surface for surface and mid-water fry.
- Squirited into the mid-water where they feed.
- Pushed down to the substrate with a syringe for pleco and bottom-dwelling fry, where it sinks and the fry graze it off the bottom.
