Selling Live Phytoplankton and Brine Shrimp

[JordanJ]

I am selling live phytoplankton (tetraselmis) motile green, 9-10nm wide, 12-14nm long, with 4 flagella which keep the cells moving rapidly and won't degrade water quality. Popular food for filter feeding coral including rotifers, clams, oysters and larval shrimp.
Now you don't have to worry about polluting pristine tank water with dead bottled phytoplankton. I grow my phytoplankton with heat sterilized RO/DI water and I guarantee its purity. Your zoanthids will thank you.

Live brine shrimp (artemia) is a nutritious food for fish larva, small fry, medium sized fish and coral.
Newly hatched (<0.6 mm in length) are high in fats 32%, protein 43%.
Juvenile and Adult (2.5 - 5mm) fat levels 17%, protein 63%

righteous, if you do this all the time, maybe this should be made a sticky?

[Gilbert]

would we have to take our own bottle or do you have that for us???

[JordanJ]

You can bring your own containers if you like. If not I have 3L baggies for you.

Anyway, be interesting to find out more about the operation involved for this phyto and brine shrimp. Seems he got a lot of interest as he is already out of some stuff! :wink_smile:

I purchased some Live Phytoplankton and Live Juvenile Brine Shrimp from Jordan earlier today. My corals have opened up more than usual, and the colors have REALLY been enhanced.
Jordan loaded a drop of each one of my purchases onto a microscope to show the quanity and quality of his products.
I'm sure with a few more reviews, Jordan would proudly become a Sponsor!

Sounds cool, be interesting to compare it to the others on the market with the recent craze of using phyto in our tanks.

How long will phytoplanktin usually last if refridgerated?

[sharkboy]

what is shelf life of phyto and the live brine shrimp?

[JordanJ]

How long will phytoplanktin usually last if refridgerated?

My phyto will stay alive in the refrigerator for about 5 - 7 days. Any amount of time after 7 days the phyto will begin to die but still retain its nutrients for another 7 days.

The shelf life of phyto depends on how you decide to store it. The following is the approximate shelf life:

Phytoplankton
Room Temperature
Alive, 1 day
Spoil in, 2 days
Refrigerated
Alive, 5 - 7 days
Spoil in, 14 - 21 days (yellow in color)
Frozen and Fresh
2 - 3 months

Brine Shrimp
Room Temperature
Alive, Shrimp will suffocate and die within several days if kept in a container. Brine Shrimp swim towards light so if you keep a light above them they will last significantly longer.

Refrigerated
Alive, 1 - 2 days
Spoil in, 7 days
Frozen and Fresh
2 - 3 months

A favorite for mine is to freeze the phyto and/or shrimp using ice cube containers. That way you don't have to thaw the entire batch every time you want to feed your reef and you significantly extend it's shelf life. But in doing this, of course, everything is dead and you have to be vigilant not to overfeed.

Thank you
