Our mysis shrimp are Neomysis japonica, a species harvested from brackish waters. Research suggests that mysis shrimp's excellent amino acid profile is responsible for their ability to stimulate a strong feeding response in fish. Freeze-dried foods have had most of the water removed for prolonged stability and storage, eliminating the need for preservatives while maintaining most of the original product's flavor, color, texture, and nutritional value.Freeze-drying is a process where the product is set on shelves in a drying chamber and frozen. Once frozen, the air is removed from the chamber by a vacuum pump, and the shelves are heated. As the shelves warm, the ice sublimates (becomes gas without a liquid phase) out of the product and collects on condensers; this removes the water from the product, so it maintains its structural integrity and flavor. This process makes storage convenient and extends shelf life. The addition of water can quickly and easily rehydrate the original product.Freeze-dried fish foods can be fed whole or crumbled between your fingers. They can be used to soak up liquid vitamins, supplements, or medications for easy administration. Additionally, they provide essential nutrients that help maintain high energy levels, health, and wellness. Fish digest them easily, benefitting water quality, allowing you to enjoy your aquarium.
