Description
The "Curator’s Choice" for Finicky Eaters & Small Mouths – Pure, Pristine, & Power-Packed Nutrition.
Unlock the secret to vibrant, energetic, and healthy fish with PE Mysis Graded Small. Harvested from the pristine, glacial waters of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, these freshwater Mysis shrimp (Mysis diluviana) are a nutritional powerhouse naturally gut-loaded with phytoplankton.
Unlike standard mysis, this Graded Small variety is meticulously sorted to an approximate length of 5mm to 10mm (0.2" - 0.4"). This makes it the perfect premium food source for smaller aquarium inhabitants, juveniles, and corals that require bite-sized nutrition without sacrificing quality. Flash-frozen live immediately upon harvest, PE Mysis retains the delicate fatty acids and proteins often lost in processed foods, inducing an "energetic feeding response" in even the most stubborn, finicky eaters.
Why Choose PE Mysis Graded Small?
-
Exceptional Palatability: Known in the hobby as the "go-to" food for finicky fish. If your new Copperband Butterfly, Mandarin Goby, or Anthias won't eat, this is the food to try.
-
3-4x Caloric Density: Compared to other small mysis brands, PE Mysis offers significantly higher caloric value, ensuring your fish get more energy per bite.
-
Sodium-Free (Freshwater Origin): Because these are freshwater shrimp, they do not add excess salt to your aquarium. This is excellent for marine fish, which struggle to expel salt, and safe for all freshwater community tanks.
-
Intact Nutrition: Harvested live and flash-frozen, the shrimp remain whole and intact. They are not a "mush" but distinct, meaty bites that mimic natural prey.
-
Naturally Gut-Loaded: These shrimp feed on nutrient-rich phytoplankton and zooplankton in the wild, passing those essential Omega-3s and antioxidants directly to your fish.
Ideal For:
This "Graded Small" size is specifically engineered for livestock with smaller mouths that struggle with standard coarse mysis.
-
Saltwater: Clownfish, Damsels, Anthias, Gobies (especially Mandarins), Blennies, Seahorses, and smaller Wrasses.
-
Freshwater: Tetras, Rasboras, Guppies, Mollies, Discus juveniles, Cichlid fry, and Barbs.
-
Corals: Excellent for LPS corals (Acanthastrea, Blastomussa, Duncans) and non-photosynthetic corals that require meaty foods.
