Hikari Spirulina Mysis Shrimp is a new frozen food offering which brings together two of aquarist’s favorite ingredients. For generations aquarium keepers of all flavors have enjoyed the use of Spirulina algae as a sole food or fortifying agent, and it’s long been used to enrich the ubiquitous Artemia brine shrimp.
The last few decades has seen a rise of the use of Mysis species shrimp as a more nutritious replacement for brine shrimp, even when the Artemia has been gut loaded with the tasty micro algae. With these two super ingredients Hikari Spirulina Mysis Shrimp is the best of both worlds into a combination of hearty ‘meat’ and the hyper nutritious algae as a vegetable and a to a lesser degree a color enhancer.
As with all their frozen foods Hikari Spirulina Mysis Shrimp is specially treated to eradicate any possible contamination from the wild while still preserving the fatty acids and fiber which makes the food so useful in the first place. Hikari is offering their Spirulina Mysis Shrimp in 3.5 ounce packs of cubes which should retail for around six or eight dollars depending on your local dealer. [Hikari]
