Corals and small saltwater or freshwater fry take them too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich fish eat live baby brine shrimp?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMandarin goby and younger copperband butterflyfish are the picky eaters this culture is aimed at. Corals and small fry feed on them too.

Pour the culture straight into the tank, or sieve the shrimp out of the salt water first if you prefer. Adjust the amount to the fish you are feeding and to your own reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is the culture green?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little of our live nannochloropsis phytoplankton goes into the pouch, and that tints it pale green. The phytoplankton is beneficial to most saltwater systems, so you do not have to remove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I store the shrimp?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefrigerate them as soon as they arrive and use them within 1 week of purchase.
