Nyos Artemis 250ml : Liquid Brine Shrimp Food for Marine Fish and LPS Corals

Defrosting brine shrimp cubes every morning gets old fast, and half of each one drifts past fish that have lost interest.

The problem is timing as much as nutrition. One big feed lets the bold fish eat first while the shy ones miss out. Carry on that way and feeding stays a chore.

Nyos Artemis is a liquid Artemia salina concentrate, sized from 0.2mm to 20mm, with garlic to encourage feeding. Shake it and add a few drops at a time, several times a day, only what is eaten quickly.

Imagine clowns, wrasse and dwarf angels picking through a cloud of shrimp that appeared in seconds, with no thawing and no cup to wash.

I have cultured live marine food in Wales since 2008, so ask me how it fits your routine.

Make feeding time the part of the day you look forward to.

Nyos Artemis UK: Liquid Brine Shrimp Without the Defrosting

Frozen brine shrimp is a staple in most fish rooms for good reason. Fish take it, it is affordable and it works. What wears keepers down is everything around it: the cube in the cup, the wait for it to defrost, the rinse, the mess on the counter, and the quiet guilt when you skip a day. Nyos Artemis 250ml is a liquid brine shrimp concentrate that goes straight from the bottle into the tank. I stock it because it makes feeding little and often genuinely easy, which is what most fish need.

Why Daily Feeding With Frozen Cubes Goes Wrong

A frozen cube is built for convenience in the freezer, not in the tank. By the time it has defrosted, been rinsed and tipped in, the bold fish have eaten first and the food has scattered. Shy fish and slow eaters get what is left, and whatever nobody wants lands in the sand bed or heads for the filter.

Feeding once a day in one large portion also runs against how most reef fish eat in nature, which is small mouthfuls spread across the day. Feeding less often because it is a hassle is the natural result, and it shows in body condition long before it shows anywhere else.

What Is in Nyos Artemis Liquid Brine Shrimp Food

Artemis contains Artemia salina, the brine shrimp that aquarists have used to feed marine fish for decades. The particle range runs from about 0.2mm up to 20mm, so a single dose contains tiny pieces for small mouths and larger ones for bigger fish. Nyos add garlic, which is included to support the immune system and to encourage a feeding response in fish that are slow to start. It is supplied as a ready to use liquid concentrate in a 250ml bottle, so there is nothing to defrost and nothing to measure out.

How to Feed Nyos Artemis to Fish and LPS Corals

Shake the bottle and add it straight to the tank. Start with a few drops, watch how quickly your fish clear it, and stop when they slow down. Feed only what is eaten within a couple of minutes, because liquid food left to drift ends up in your filter. Several small feeds through the day work better than one large one, and they suit a mixed community where the shy fish need time to reach the food.

For LPS corals, turn your pumps off, wait for the feeding tentacles to appear, and use a pipette to place a small amount near the coral. Keep the lid closed and store the bottle in a cool, dark place.

Nyos Artemis or Live Brine Shrimp? Where Each One Fits

Artemis is preserved Artemia, and I want to be upfront about what that means. It is a convenient everyday food. It is not a substitute for live brine shrimp when you are weaning a stubborn fish or conditioning broodstock, because movement is a feeding trigger that no preserved food can match. For those jobs, hatching your own is still hard to beat.

If you want live food in the tank today with no preparation, Pod-Shot gives you live copepods from a pouch, while our live copepods build a refugium population that feeds your fish for months. Artemis earns its place on the shelf as the easy option for all the ordinary days in between.

Nyos Artemis FAQ

Does Nyos Artemis need thawing?

No. It is a ready to use liquid, so you shake the bottle and feed straight from it. Store it in a cool, dark place with the lid closed.

What size are the particles?

From around 0.2mm up to 20mm. That range means small mouths and larger ones both find something they can eat in every dose.

How much should I feed?

Small amounts, several times a day, and only what is eaten quickly. There is no fixed rate per litre because it depends on your stocking levels. If food is still drifting after a couple of minutes, you have added too much.

Can LPS corals eat it?

Yes, target feed with a pipette once the feeding tentacles are out, and keep the portion small. Run your skimmer as normal afterwards.

Is it a replacement for live food?

No. It is a convenient preserved food for everyday feeding. Live food is still the answer for weaning fussy fish, conditioning breeders and building a copepod population.

Build a Complete Feeding Routine

Artemis works best as one part of a varied routine. Add Zoo-Shot when you want a ready to use live zooplankton feed for your corals, build a long-term population with live copepods, and dose 5 Species Phytoplankton to feed the filter feeders underneath it all.
