About this item

  • Shell free , non hatching brine shrimp eggs
  • Excellent nutritional value without the necessity and down-time of hatching
  • Simply rehydrate for a few minutes and feed directly to your fry or juveniles
  • An excellent feed for angelfish, goldfish, and guppies.
  • Well accepted by coryadora and plecostami.


DECAPSULATED or “shell-free” NON-HATCHING BRINE SHRIMP EGGS are typically fed directly to a wide variety of tropical fish - providing excellent nutritional value without the necessity and down-time of hatching. The outer shell, the chorion, has been chemically removed or oxidized using a concentrated chlorine solution. This process leaves the thin hatching membrane surrounding the unhatched brine shrimp embryo intact. Decapsulated brine shrimp eggs theoretically have a higher energy value than live brine shrimp since the energy consumed in the hatching process is conserved. Lipids and amino acids are left largely intact. Simply rehydrate the decapsulated brine shrimp eggs for a few minutes in fresh water and feed directly to your fry or juveniles (This step is not generally necessary for adult fish.). Note: A small amount of decapsulated eggs goes a long way. Don't overfeed. Again, these are non-hatching brine shrimp eggs. An excellent feed for angelfish, goldfish, and guppies! Also well accepted by coryadora and plecostami. Analysis: Protein, 53.6%; Acid Fat, 7.3%; Fiber, 19.6%; Moisture, 8.3%; Ash, 4.9%. Recent lot analysis for presence of heavy metals: Arsenic, 15.2 ppm; Cadmium,

I use decapsulated brine shrimp because I loath the work, mess and smell of hatching brine shrimp to feed my tanks. These eggs WILL NOT hatch, but are easy to dispense and my fish and shrimp love them. Surprisingly, the packaging is probably the best part. I’ve previously received eggs in zipper bag packaging and have managed to make a mess with them in my food drawer. This bottle packaging seals tight and secure making dispensing and storing so much easier.

As a breeder and hobbiest with about 60 tanks, I'm always looking for quality food to mix up the diets of my many fish. A great substitute to hatching brine shrimp. Small enough for fry as well. Overall great product
