- READY-TO-USE FEED: Dried decapsulated brine shrimp eggs do not require incubation and can be fed directly to your pets! Due to their high buoyancy and the size of 150 - 200 µm, these cysts are particularly attractive to small predators. Ideal for automatic feeding, requires no additional facilities, does not pollute water.
- POWERFUL PROTEIN SOURCE FOR THE HEALTH OF YOUR FISH: dried decapsulated brine shrimp eggs are even superior to Artemia nauplii hatched from regular brine shrimp eggs in their nutritional quality, as no energy is expended to break the chorion shell. They are an excellent source of protein and unsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids, which help increase active growth and ensure maximum fish survival.
- HIGH QUALITY: dried decapsulated brine shrimp cysts are produced under the strictest quality and sanitary controls, under international environmental standards for the use of natural resources. The product is made from Artemia cysts by removing the outer non-digestible shell using DWATER-PRO technology, without adding artificial colors or preservatives.
- SUITABLE FOR ALL KINDS OF FISH AND CRUSTACEANS: Perfect for all kinds of fish and crustaceans: from cichlids and guppies to discus and neon tetras, koi carps, catfish, axolotls, and shrimps as well as mollusks, corals, and many others! All you need to do is to soak dry decapsulated brine shrimp eggs in cold water for 10 - 15 minutes before feeding!
The production of Artemiadirect is aimed at facilitating the use of high-quality brine shrimp eggs (Artemia cysts) as a starter feed for fish and shrimp larvae as well as reducing the penetration of pathogenic bacteria and cyst shells into the larvae feed. Our Artemia cysts originate from the Wild Salt Lakes and are the subject of numerous scientific studies by leading biologists around the world. Our unique technology of dried decapsulated Artemia cysts production allows us to be proud of the quality of the product and its bright, saturated color.

Step 1: Prepare the necessary materials
Clean bucket or container large enough
Airline tubing
Air pump (optional but recommended)
Adjustable valve or knot (to regulate the flow of water) or get a abquatics drip kit
Clean, dechlorinated water (ideally matching the temperature and pH of your tank)
Step 2: Set up the drip acclimation system
Fill a clean bucket or container with the clean, dechlorinated water.
Attach one end of the airline tubing to an air pump (if using) and place the other end inside the bucket. Make sure it reaches the bottom of the container.
Step 3: Start the drip
Open the bag containing the aquatic animals and carefully pour the entire contents into the bucket, including the water from the transport bag.
Start a siphon by sucking on the free end of the airline tubing or use a siphon starter. This will initiate a slow drip of water into the bucket.
Step 4: Adjust the drip rate
Use an adjustable valve or tie a knot in the airline tubing to regulate the drip rate. Aim for approximately 2-4 drips per second.
The slow drip helps gradually mix the water in the bucket with the water from the transport bag, preventing any sudden changes in water parameters.
Step 5: Monitor the process
Keep an eye on the acclimation process and periodically test the water parameters in the bucket using a test kit. This helps ensure a smooth transition.
Depending on the sensitivity of the animals and the water parameters involved, the acclimation process may take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.
Step 6: Adjust water volume if needed
If the water volume in the bucket becomes too high, you can remove some water and continue the drip acclimation process with fresh, dechlorinated water. Be cautious not to remove too much water, as it can lead to sudden changes in water parameters.
Step 7: Transfer the animals to the tank
Once the acclimation process is complete, gently net the aquatic animals from the bucket and transfer them to the tank. Avoid adding the water from the acclimation container to the tank to prevent any potential contamination.
Step 8: Dispose of the acclimation water
After transferring the animals, discard the acclimation water from the bucket. Do not pour it directly into any drains or natural bodies of water.
By following these steps, you can safely and gradually acclimate your shrimp, snails, and fish to their new tank environment after transport. Remember, it's important to monitor the process closely and make adjustments as necessary to ensure a smooth transition for your aquatic pets.
