PE Mysis Shrimp – Premium Frozen Fish Food (8 oz Flat Pack)
The Curator’s Choice: Maximum Value for Serious Aquarists.
Upgrade your feeding regimen with the Piscine Energetics (PE) Frozen Mysis Shrimp 8 oz Flat Pack. Designed for larger aquariums or hobbyists who want the best value, this flat pack offers double the quantity of the standard blister packs in a space-saving, efficient format.
Harvested from the pristine, glacier-fed waters of Lake Okanagan, these freshwater Mysis relicta are flash-frozen alive to preserve their whole-animal integrity. Naturally gut-loaded with phytoplankton and zooplankton, they deliver a "bio-encapsulated" nutritional boost that triggers an energetic feeding response in even the most finicky saltwater and freshwater fish.
Why Choose the 8 oz Flat Pack?
-
Best Value: The flat pack format provides a larger quantity of food (8 oz / 226.8g) at a more economical price point per ounce compared to blister packs.
-
Custom Portioning: Unlike pre-measured cubes, the flat pack allows you to break off the exact amount you need, whether you are feeding a single large predator or a heavily stocked reef tank.
-
Superior Nutrition: Rich in Omega 3 & 6 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) and amino acids, this food is essential for boosting immune systems and enhancing the vibrant coloration of your fish.
-
Clean & Whole: Because they are flash-frozen immediately upon harvest, the shrimp remain intact. This means less mess in the water column and more direct nutrition for your livestock.
-
Sustainably Harvested: Removing this invasive species from Lake Okanagan supports the native Kokanee Salmon population, making this an environmentally responsible choice.

-
Portion: Break off a chunk of the frozen flat pack appropriate for your tank's size.
-
Thaw: Place the frozen chunk in a small container with tank water until fully thawed.
-
Rinse (Optional): While PE Mysis is clean, some aquarists prefer to rinse the thawed shrimp in RODI water to remove natural oils, especially for smaller systems.
-
Feed: Pour the thawed shrimp into the aquarium.
-
Monitor: Feed only what your fish can consume within 2-3 minutes.
Expert Tip
The 8 oz Flat Pack is the preferred choice for aquarists with larger tangs, wrasses, or triggers. The ability to break off larger chunks allows you to feed bigger pieces to aggressive eaters while ensuring smaller fish can still pick at the individual shrimp once they hit the water.
