Product Information
Full details
JBL ArtemioFluid is a specialized liquid feed designed for aquarium hobbyists who hatch their own Brine Shrimp (Artemia) to feed young fish. It provides essential micro-algae and nutrients that ensure the shrimp remain nutritionally dense for fry development once their natural yolk sac is exhausted. While it is highly effective at increasing the bio-availability of the shrimp, users must be careful to dose sparingly to avoid water cloudiness or oxygen depletion in small hatching vessels.

FAQs
Can I use this for other live foods?
This product is specifically formulated for the dietary requirements of Brine Shrimp.
How do I know if I added too much?
If the water remains green for more than 24 hours or starts to develop a foul odor, you have added too much.
Does it need to be refrigerated?
Store in a cool, dark place, though following the specific storage instructions on the bottle label is always recommended.
How long does one bottle last?
Since you only use a drop at a time, a 50ml bottle is highly concentrated and sufficient for many hatching cycles.
Is it safe for saltwater fish fry?
Yes, it is perfectly safe as it is designed for the Brine Shrimp that eventually become food for your fry.
Troubleshooting
Water turning cloudy too quickly
You are likely overdosing. Reduce the number of drops and wait for the water to clear before adding more.
Shrimp appear lethargic
Ensure proper aeration in your hatching vessel; liquid food consumes oxygen, so higher oxygen levels are necessary to keep the shrimp active.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, use the product in a well-aerated hatching or growing container. Because ArtemioFluid is organic, excess amounts can settle and decay, leading to ammonia spikes. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place to maintain the integrity of the phytoplankton. If you are using a large-scale setup, start with one drop and monitor for 12 hours before increasing the dosage. Always clean the hatching vessel thoroughly between cycles to prevent the buildup of bacterial colonies common with organic liquid feeds.
