Did You Know? Do you know the difference between Brine and Mysis shrimps? Fish love both of them but only one of them has real nutritional value. Brine shrimp are basically just exoskeleton that must taste good but it isn't doing much for the health of your fish. Mysis shrimp are much better for the fish over all and they seem to love it. Be careful when feeding Brine, fish will actually become spoiled on it and begin refusing all other foods. If you have this problem already there are vitamin additives I would recommend adding to the Brine shrimp to increase it's nutritional value. Even many picky eaters will accept Mysis so consider making the switch. Don't forget, this weekend all of our frozen foods are buy 3 get the 4th for only a penny! We even have a "create your own sale" coupon! Check out our online Newsletter for details!
