Suitable for all freshwater and marine fish, this high-protein formula supports fish health and growth while delivering exceptional value. ## Description Our COOL MYSIS Flake Enriched with High HUFA Algae is made with fresh-frozen mysis shrimp* combined with high quality marine proteins, garlic, high HUFA algae, marine fish oil, color enhancers (Astaxanthin 400 ppm) and Vitamin C. But unlike over-processed, over-hyped and over-priced marine diets found on warehouse shelves, our COOL MYSIS Flake Enriched with High HUFA Algae is prepared in small batches using low-temperature drying technology, delivers as promised, and is reasonably priced. Independent laboratory analysis has shown that the low temperature flaking process employed by Brine Shrimp Direct results in significantly higher protein retention and water stability than found in conventional flakes. COOL MYSIS, like all AQUANIX Flake Diets, not only has exceptional water stability, but it contains viable beneficial bacteria that can facilitate the conversion of fish waste and uneaten food into harmless microbial biomass and carbon dioxide - so you'll see an improvement in water quality as well as in the overall health of your aquarium.

Review: Delicious and nutritious - eel approved! - My fish love it. It contains an impressive amount of protein and fats, both of which are important for keeping adult fish healthy and growing out fry. Even my Mastacembelus ellipsifer eels go crazy for this stuff. The flakes are massive, so I have to grind them up a bit. I bought the 3lb. pail and I included some pictures to see the size of some of the flakes I received. Although, other flake food brands that I buy have overly ground up flakes that are closer to a powder after shipping. So I will take these massive flakes over powder any day. Review: Great Value & Good Ingredients - I wasn't sure at first when I came across this item, mainly because even my corydoras can be picky about food & I saw some reviews stating that their fish hated it, plus that the flakes were too large. Then there was the review saying something hatched (!?!) in theirs. It appeared to have mostly great ingredients, though. They could lose the soy protein & wheat gluten, though, IMO. Well, sure enough, the flakes were gigantic & fairly thick. Not a problem. Just break them up to the size you want. However, also sure enough, my fish basically ignored them. Even the Panda corydoras, & they'll usually eat anything. So, instead of returning them, I used them in making fish jello, along with many other ingredients I use, such as spirulina powder, fresh garlic juice & other fresh or frozen foods like ground tilapia & brine shrimp. I also threw in some freeze dried brine shrimp & freeze dried soldier fly larvae. The bulk of the ingredients in the latest batch I made had mostly this product in it. And, what'd'ya know? All my picky li'l fish love it. I have a feeling that if they were hungry enough & I fed them only these flakes (ground much finer), they'd probably like them just fine. I'll have to try it & come back to this review to tell how it turned out. 5 stars for being made of mostly the best ingredients, for the YUGE amount in that 3-pound bucket & for it being so well-priced, considering how much others charge for small amounts of flake food with a lot of crummy ingredients. I keep even freeze dried fish food in the freezer, so I don't think my bucket of Cool Mysis flakes are in danger of hatching out any varmints. But, if they did, I'm sure the fish would love devouring them. ## Features - Low temperature flaking process results in higher protein retention & water stability - Contains viable beneficial bacteria - Contains high quality marine proteins, garlic, High HUFA Algae, color enhancers (Astaxanthin 400 ppm) and Vitamin C. - Suitable for Freshwater or Marine Fish - Made in the USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083TCMY3P | | ASIN | B083TCMY3P | | Additional Features | Low-temperature drying technology for higher protein retention, viable beneficial bacteria for improved aquarium water quality | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Animal Food Nutrient Content Claim | High Protein | | Best Sellers Rank | #174,158 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #1,663 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand Name | Brine Shrimp Direct | | Breed Recommendation | Freshwater and Marine Fish | | Container Type | 2 gallon pail | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (132) | | Date First Available | January 13, 2020 | | Flavor | Seafood, Shrimp | | Item Form | Flake | | Item Type Name | FISH FOOD | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Item model number | MYP3LB | | Manufacturer | Brine Shrimp Direct | | Manufacturer | Brine Shrimp Direct | | Manufacturer Part Number | MYP3LB | | Model Number | MYP3LB | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Package Dimensions | 10.12 x 8.19 x 5.2 inches; 3 Pounds | | Product Benefits | Enhances fish health and aquarium water quality | | Recommended Uses For Product | Fish feeding, Fish health maintenance, Color enhancement for fish, All life stages | | Special Ingredients | High HUFA Algae, astaxanthin, viable beneficial bacteria ,garlic, spirulina | | Specific Uses For Product | COLOR ENHANCING FISH FOOD | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 831350000743 | | Unit Count | 48 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Brine Shrimp Direct - **Flavor:** Seafood, Shrimp - **Item Form:** Flake - **Specific Uses For Product:** COLOR ENHANCING FISH FOOD ## Images ![Brine Shrimp Direct Cool Mysis Tropical Fish Flake Enriched with High HUFA Algae, 3 lb.

The fish don't love the flavor at first, so be careful and feed sparingly the first week or so until they readily accept the flake, or you will end up with a mess on your hands. Also, the flakes, even when the fish do gobble them up cause the water or the fish poop to cause the water to smell. OK for outdoor or a dedicated fish room, not great in the living room. I used this product with a variety of fish indoor and out for a few months before reviewing. Seems to agree with the fish, but the odor issue means it's going to be pond food only at my place. The flakes themselves don't really smell. Both goldfish, native species and tropicals (freshwater) do ok on it, but be especially careful not to overfeed because even a little overfeeding causes a bacterial bloom VERY quickly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brine Shrimp Direct Cool Mysis Tropical Fish Flake Enriched with High HUFA Algae, 3 lb.
