ALL LIVE / FROZEN FOODS SENT 1st CLASS! CHILLER BLOCKS USED DURING HOTTER WEATHER / SUMMER! - Sent Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

Artemia is a genus of aquatic crustaceans known as brine shrimp, Aqua Dragons, or Sea Monkeys.
Artemia populations are found worldwide in inland saltwater lakes, but not in oceans. Artemia are able to avoid cohabiting with most types of predators, such as fish, by their ability to live in waters of very high salinity (up to 25%). A very high nutrient food and great for colour enhancing, perfect fro fresh water and marine fish as part of a varied diet with Red Rotifer, Marine Whiteworms etc.

PLEASE NOTE: Baby Brine Shrimp are around the size of ground pepper with a pale pink colour. They are very hard to see normally.

Please note, the image used is of magnified size baby brine shrimp. Usually, they would be around the size of "ground pepper" size. There are usually hundreds in a bag.

We get regular fresh deliveries of live daphnia, bloodworm, tubifex worms and brine shrimp (and other live foods) every Friday, and all livefood orders are dispatched on Fridays, Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays with 24 hours shipping to ensure best quality on arrival to you.

It is best for baby brine shrimp to be stored in a cool and dark place however we recommend feeding as soon as possible on delivery. 

During peak summer months (July and August), where the average temperatures around the country are above 25°C, we may withhold delivery of live and frozen foods. This is due to the heat and postal service holts, delays and changes that are common during this period where we cannot guarantee live or frozen deliveries arriving in fresh condition. Deliveries may continue once the temperatures have returned to normal or are more favourable.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
