Golden Pearls 50-100 Micron
Golden Pearls is a revolutionary new larval diet that has successfully replaced live Artemia nauplii in marine fish hatcheries in Europe. A patented processing technique (agglomeration of micro-encapsulated particles) results in feed particles or “clusters” that resemble raspberries under the microscope. Golden Pearls have tiny air pockets that keep the feed particles suspended in the water column, not on the bottom of the tank, and mimic live brine shrimp nauplii.
Ingredients: Brine shrimp, squid, shrimp and fish protein, animal protein, purified fish oils, phospholipids, astaxanthin, vitamins, protected minerals, antioxidants, and immunostimulants.

FAQ
What makes Golden Pearls different from live Artemia nauplii?
Golden Pearls use a patented agglomeration process to create micro-encapsulated clusters that mimic the appearance and behavior of live brine shrimp nauplii. The tiny air pockets keep the particles suspended in the water column, improving feeding efficiency for larval fish.
Are Golden Pearls suitable for all marine fish species?
Golden Pearls are specifically formulated for larval marine fish and have been successfully used in marine fish hatcheries in Europe. Results may vary depending on species and life stage.
What is the recommended feeding frequency?
Please contact customer service for feeding frequency recommendations based on species and tank conditions.
Eric Dowd –
Used Golden Pearls in a marine hatchery for juvenile seabass. The feed stays suspended in the water, which makes it easier for fry to access. Fish show better growth and less stress compared to live nauplii. Highly recommended for hatchery operations.
Paul Stewart –
The 2 oz jar is convenient for small-scale use. Feed particles look like live nauplii under microscope. Fish are more active and feed consistently. Slight improvement in coloration after a week of use.
Max Fisher –
Switched from live Artemia due to cost and consistency issues. Golden Pearls are reliable, easy to store, and provide good nutrition. The suspended feed reduces waste and improves feeding efficiency.
