Default Live foods & group orders **Saltwater Ghost Shrimp**

We are in negotiations with an US supplier for some live foods. If we get enough interest we may become the Canadian Distributor.

Saltwater Ghost Shrimp (Palaemontes Vulgaris)

This most durable little marine shrimp, Palaemonetes vulgaris, is an incredible eater of encrusted algaes and detritus in the marine aquarium. In fact, this little shrimp (maximum size is one inch) will out-eat small ocean hermit crabs by 10 to 1. For you mini reefers out there this new live janitor shrimp is perfect. The shrimp will not harm live coral, tube worms, or any other invertebrate larger than itself.

Aquarists have been looking for affordable saltwater feeder shrimp for years, here it is. Unlike the freshwater ghost shrimp that will only live in saltwater for maybe 10 minutes, this saltwater feeder will live forever in your tank or until captured by some hungry fish. We have customers that say they can go on a week's vacation or so and be assured that the fish are being fed properly without those messy and unreliable dry feeders. Just put 100 saltwater feeders in the tank and leave. The fish get them as they can and by the time you get back from vacation the fish are happy and the tank is not rotten from an auto feeder getting stuck open. What an ideal creature.


Assorted Saltwater Feeder Fish

Assorted Saltwater Feeders (size approx. 1"). The size of these Saltwater Feeders makes them an attractive feeder for marine seahorses.

OCEAN GREEN: Nannochloropsis

Live single cell green marine phytoplankton, good for feeding all filter feeders.

Isochrysis G. : Tahitian Strain

This phytoplankton is known to be the best live food for bivalves (clams of all kinds). The natural color of this phytoplankton is golden yellow. Cultivated in full-strength seawater.

Live Marine Rotifers

Approximate number: 10 per ml or 10,000 per liter. Size is 90 microns long or 1/2 the size of brine shrimp nauplii.

Amount to feed is very dependent on the number of filter feeders and size of your marine aquarium. A good starting point is 2 pints per week per 50 gallon medium coral density aquarium. Also, it is the only live starter food for newly hatched marine fish larvae.

The shrimp will be cheap, about $0.75 cents each. Mainly for food.

All other stock will be priced accordingly, to size.

The shrimp look very interesting, and if other stores are interested, I'll supply them at wholesale price.

Would the ghost shrimp work well for a reef tank? I was thinking off adding maybe 20-40 of them to the reef for an extra clean up crew but need to know there reef safe. Ken do you ship?
