BRINE SHRIMPS

- By MANUEL YAP

Commercial dried fish food has been the most popular diet for aquarium fish for decades, and includes colored floating pellets, flakes, and even sinking pellets. They provide easy, clean, and inexpensiv­e ways to maintain an aquarium tank.

As a beginner fish keeper advances, they begin exploring how to enhance the growth and beauty of their fishes. They start creating their own fish food and making recipes of their own. Ideal foods include Tubifex worms, Daphnia or Moina, earthworms, Grindal worms, Infusoria, and microworms. Most of these are readily available locally and may be cultured after obtaining a starter kit.

Enter the brine shrimp, a unique fish food that is a gem for all serious fish hobbyists.
