Also called Grass Shrimp, Glass Shrimp, Feeder Shrimp, Ghost Shrimp.
Benefits of Aqua - Cultured Saltwater Feeder shrimp species Palaemonetes Pugio.
Important please read before purchasing feeder shrimp.
Shrimp can arrive with the water quite turbid, this is no cause for alarm. There can also be shrimp molts in the bag which look like dead shrimp bodies.
We pack 25% more shrimp than the quantity ordered to compensate for the few doa's.
Acclimating your feeder shrimp when you receive the package:
Three important points in regards to handling the saltwater feeder shrimp.
1. Avoid temperature shock.
Float bag to equalize water temp to aquarium.
2. Avoid oxygen starvation.
Feeder shrimp can oxygen starve in a short period of time.
Keep in ship bag closed with pure oxygen until temp acclimation is finished.
3. Shipping water has high concentrations of ammonia build up.
Remove shrimp from dirty shipping water by pouring through a net and discarding all of the shipping water.
Feeder shrimp have high metabolism and produce high amounts of ammonia in transit in the shipping bag.
Avoid temperature shock by acclimating the bag by floating the bag in aquarium or holding tank.
Just make sure you keep the bag closed because it is filled with pure oxygen while floating it to acclimate/ equalize the temp for no more than 20 minutes.
Alternatively you can open the bag and place a strong air stone in the bag while acclimating.
Feeder shrimp are very hardy in most respects, but one of their issues is they consume a lot of oxygen.
Then rinse the saltwater feeder shrimp thoroughly by pouring through a net to totally separate them from the dirty shipping water and then place them in a container with clean water or the holding tank or your display aquarium.
If you take the time to drip or add percentage of water like we do with reef fish to the dirty ammonia filled water in the shipping bag your risking damaging the feeder shrimp beyond recovery.
Feeder shrimp are naturally dirty and produce a lot of ammonia.
Saltwater feeder shrimp are very hardy but we recommend to place them in clean water as soon as possible when received.
Prepare a container with clean saltwater if your not introducing them to an established tank right away.
Pour shrimp through a net to remove them from the turbid water.
Then place all the contents of the net in the clean water. Discard any dead shrimps.
At this point you, can count the live shrimp if you feel that it's not the quantity you ordered.
Please follow this procedure before contacting us for doa claims.
If this takes a little longer than the 2 hours after delivery, don't worry about it just email us if you have concerns at that point.
For smaller quantities of feeder shrimp go to the live saltwater fish food category where we have smaller quantities in combos with free express shipping.

They are a cleaner shrimp in the sense that they spend their day and more at night cleaning left over detritus and scraping algae from rocks and crevices.
So they have more benefits to your tank than just live fish food.

When you buy saltwater eels you need a place to get live prey item or live food to feed the eel.

Best way to feed live food to your Angler fish and Frog Fish is to load the live feeder shrimp with extremely nutritious food before feeding to your captive kept fish.
This is the way that predatory fish like Angler fish and seahorses get the necessary nutrients for lead healthy lives in the wild earths oceans.
Many times, fish that are collected in the wild go through a lot of rough handling, and are kept housed for extended periods of time before we get them at the local aquarium store. So due to stress and many days of disorientation, they can lose their appetites. This usually leads to their early demise.
If you have a feeding problem with a wild caught fish specimen try feeding some of these saltwater feeder shrimp or saltwater grass shrimp to try to kick start its instinct for feeding again. Then, with time, you can slowly teach/acclimate it to eat frozen, liquid, or dry foods.
Question: I just purchased a new fish, a puffer fish and it won't eat anything I offer it. I'm trying your live Saltwater feeder shrimp as a last resort to try to get it to eat.
What do you think I should try if the live feeders don't work to get the puffer to eat?
It's unusual for a puffer not to eat. it's hard for me to tell what to do since I'm not observing the actual fish.
If a fish is too far pat the point of starvation it may never have the instinct again to start eating and it will slowly starve no matter what you feed it.
If you cant get it to eat live prey it might have been starved by the keepers before you got it. From the time it got caught and went through different hands/ middlemen then you got it.
All of our live stock is either cultured in our nursery by us or we are the wild harvester collector and we have the facilities and the resources to keep the organisms healthy and stress free before you receive it. So we cut down the days spent from ocean to your tank and the stress of low quality housing in the interim.
Temp Acclimate the feeder shrimp and mysis shrimp, and then release all into aquarium? Or
Best option for feeder shrimp is to temp acclimate and then make sure you pour the entire contents through a fish net and discard dirty water first.
Then you can place in aquarium immediately.
Alternatively place in a bucket with new clean water and as much bubbles for oxygen as possible.
No heater necessary, just lots of oxygen.
Feeder shrimp are very dirty shrimp and need lots of oxygen.
Both Mysid and Feeder shrimp are considered very hardy organisms and they can take a lot of abuse. They just have high metabolic rate and will foul a small volume of water like in a shipping bag pretty quick during transit.
Not uncommon to receive the shrimp healthy but with the ship bag water very cloudy and full of ammonia. Common mistake is to not discard ship water asap when receiving and acclimating.
The sooner you perform the "pouring through a net and discarding dirty shipping water" procedure the better. Specially if you take into account that the warmer the shrimp get the more they metabolize and start fouling the water with ammonia.

Excellent shrimpies!
These ghost shrimp have arrived in good shape each time I've ordered them. Athough their water does get messy, there's not a lot of deaths; and I always get a handful of berried ones! They work as excellent live food for my scorpion fish, and keep her fat and happy :)

Live Feeder shrimp
The shrimp came in great. I still see the ones which are too big for my fish to eat. However, whenever they produce eggs and they hatch the larva will feed my smaller fish including a Mandarin.

Very healthy shrimp!
Super nasty water (as clearly laid out in the product description) but extremely healthy and active shrimp. After following acclimation instructions, there were only a few DOA and many of them were full of eggs. Excellent product!

Glass shrimp
I've never seen these shrimp before and I thought it would be fun to order some to be used as detritus cleaners To my surprise, the order arrived with very few casualties and the inner bag had a slight leak. Besides that, the order came in flawless. Will definitely be ordering more from RUSALTY in the near future. thanks!

Perfect Delivery, Quality Product!
I ordered the saltwater feeder shrimp and within 24 hours got my shipping confirmation and it was delivered the next day as promised. I recently purchased two wild-caught marbled catshark pups and needed an additional food source to ensure they were eating. Since I added the shrimp I have watched them decrease in count meaning the sharks are eating them. I have also been feeding frozen squid, scallops, and crab which they are also eating. Thank you RUSALTY for your fast response and great pricing. I will for sure order from you again!

400 Feeder Shrimp
I either get 200 or 400 of these every month. Probably better to get 400. If you can pick these up early in the day they will all be alive and good to go. My last shipment only had 3 casualties out of 400. They are true saltwater shrimp.

I get these all the time and in warm weather you should get overnight delivery if you get 400 of these because the water gets a little edgy quickly.

Saltwater feeder shrimp
As usual, the feeder shrimp are great. The anthias pick off the smaller ones within 48 hours. The larger ones produce eggs which feed other smaller fish as well as invertebrates. Also, as scavengers, they help clean things up

Saltwater feeder shrimp
Perfect size. Should grow and breed in the tank to provide a good number of instars for the other inverts and fish. Clownfish catch the smaller ones and bring them to the ritteri anemone.

Saltwater Grass Shrimp
Very satisfied with the product. The seven I received were very health and active and survived at least a week in the tank I put them in. I have not seen them for a few days, but they could be lost in the macro-algae in the tank. A little bit pricey at $2.00 a piece, but excellent quality.
