San Francisco Bay Brand Shrimpery Kit

Hatch live food for your fish and with the San Francisco Bay Brand® Shrimpery®. The Shrimpery® is also a fun and exciting educational tool.

Live baby brine shrimp are trusted food source used by fish breeders around the world to raise newly hatched fish fry. The movement of the live brine shrimp stimulates the feeding response in fish. Newly hatched brine shrimp also doubles as a great source of nutrition for young fish fry. Natural color enhancers such as beta carotene are found in brine shrimp as well as essential lipids and unsaturated fatty acids which are a necessity for fish growth and biological processes of fish. Many reef aquarists also feed live baby brine shrimp to corals and inverts in the reef aquarium.
