Advantage of the products:
Artemia cysts is a kind of living feedstuff, it should be directly feed to a shrimp pool or a fish tank after resting artemia be hatched. Hatched nauplius can live a long time in water. Little fish, shrimp and crab can prey on the feedstuff by themselves. The nutrition content is high and no pollution to the water.
Storage:
Keep out of direct sunlight.
For short term storage, store in a cool dry place not more than 30ºC. If the artemia cysts or brine shrimp eggs are not used immediately keep the container tightly sealed to prevent the contents from moisture. Once the container has been opened, use within a few days time.
For long term storage: Keep under 17ºC. For best results, store under refrigerated conditions at 0°C -4°C or below for up to 24 months.
If you take the artemia cysts from storage, please keep 12 hours outside, then to hatch.
