Decap artemia fish food from Horizone Eagle delivers premium nutrition for fish fry, juvenile fish, and small tropical species. This 25g package contains carefully decapsulated brine shrimp eggs that provide an immediately edible, highly nutritious food source. Available at TaraPet UAE with free delivery.

The Horizone Eagle brand specializes in high-quality aquarium nutrition at accessible pricing. This decap artemia fish food represents one of the most effective options for raising healthy fry and conditioning small fish species.

What Is Decap Artemia Fish Food

Decap artemia fish food consists of brine shrimp eggs that have had their hard outer shell chemically removed through a decapsulation process. This removes the indigestible chorion layer, leaving only the pure nutritious embryo that fish can consume immediately.

Unlike regular artemia cysts that require hatching over 24 to 48 hours, decapsulated eggs can be fed directly to fish. The removal of the shell eliminates the risk of digestive blockages that unhatched cyst shells can cause in tiny fry.

Nutritional Benefits

Decap artemia fish food contains approximately 55 percent protein and 18 percent fat, making it one of the most nutrient-dense foods available for small fish. The high protein content supports rapid growth during the critical first weeks of fry development.

Essential fatty acids including EPA and DHA promote healthy cell membrane development and support the immune system. Carotenoid pigments naturally present in artemia enhance coloration in ornamental fish species from an early age.

Ideal for Fry Rearing

Breeders rely on decap artemia fish food as a first food for newly free-swimming fry. The small particle size matches the tiny mouth gape of most tropical fish fry, ensuring even the smallest species can feed successfully.

Livebearer fry including guppies, platies, mollies, and endlers thrive on decapsulated artemia from their first day. Egg-layer fry such as tetras, rasboras, and danios benefit from the concentrated nutrition during their rapid early growth phase.

How to Use

Rehydrate a small pinch of decap artemia fish food in tank water for two to three minutes before feeding. The eggs swell slightly and become soft enough for even the smallest fry to consume. Feed small amounts two to four times daily for optimal fry growth.

For adult small fish and shrimp, scatter a pinch directly onto the water surface. The eggs sink slowly, allowing mid-water and bottom-dwelling species to feed at their preferred depth. Remove uneaten food after five minutes to maintain water quality.

Advantages Over Live Hatching

While live baby brine shrimp remain the gold standard for fry nutrition, decap artemia offers significant practical advantages. No hatching equipment, air pumps, or salt water preparation is required, saving considerable time and effort.

The shelf-stable nature of decapsulated eggs means nutrition is available instantly whenever needed. Breeders managing multiple spawns simultaneously appreciate the convenience of ready-to-feed decap artemia without maintaining multiple hatcheries.

Storage Guidelines

Store the 25g package in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption. For extended storage, refrigeration maintains maximum nutritional quality.

The compact 25g size provides weeks of feeding for typical breeding setups. Use within three months of opening for optimal freshness and nutritional value. Check periodically that the eggs maintain their characteristic orange-brown color.

Compatible Species

Beyond fry rearing, decap artemia fish food serves as an excellent supplementary treat for adult small fish. Cherry shrimp, crystal shrimp, and other dwarf shrimp species actively seek out and consume decapsulated artemia eggs.

Small tetras, rasboras, celestial pearl danios, and scarlet badis all benefit from regular artemia supplementation. The concentrated nutrition supports breeding conditioning in these diminutive species that may struggle with larger food items.
