Premium Freshwater Fairy Shrimp Cysts (Eggs) – Live Food & Hobby Breeding Kit! ?
The Ultimate Live Food for Fry AND a Fascinating Project for Shrimp Enthusiasts!
Up for auction is a high-yield batch of premium Freshwater Fairy Shrimp Cysts. Whether you are a fish breeder looking for the absolute best high-protein live food, or an invertebrate enthusiast wanting to raise a unique, beautiful colony of prehistoric micro-crustaceans, this auction is for you!
Unlike marine brine shrimp (Artemia), true fairy shrimp thrive in 100% pure freshwater. They require zero salt, meaning they are incredibly easy to manage and will live indefinitely in freshwater tanks without fouling the water.
? FOR THE SHRIMP & INVERTEBRATE ENTHUSIAST
Fairy shrimp are stunning, active, and fascinating creatures to raise as a standalone pet project:
- Mesmerising Movement: They swim gracefully upside-down, continuously propelling themselves through the water using 11 pairs of feathery legs.
- Rapid Life Cycle: Watch them hatch from microscopic dust into fully formed, mature 2–3 cm adults in just 7 to 14 days [0.5.42, 1.4].
- Fascinating Breeding Projects: Mature females develop a prominent, bright orange brood pouch. You can harvest their dropped eggs at the end of the colony's cycle, dry them out, and restart your colony whenever you like—creating a self-sustaining hobby [1.4]!
- The Perfect Nano-Tank Inhabitant: They require no expensive filters or complex setups, making them an ideal, low-maintenance desk-tank project.
? FOR THE FISH BREEDER (THE ULTIMATE LIVE FOOD)
- Massive Protein Boost: Adult bodies consist of 55% to 70% crude protein to accelerate fry growth rates [1.2].
- Vibrant Color Enhancement: Packed with natural carotenoids to make your Bettas, Discus, and Killifish pop [1.2].
- 0% Salinity, 100% Safe: Uneaten shrimp won't die and rot in your fry tanks; they will happily swim around until eaten.
