Golden Pearls 5-50 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. Their tiny air pockets keep them suspended in the water column, improving feeding efficiency for larval fish.
What are the main ingredients in Golden Pearls?
Brine shrimp, squid, shrimp and fish protein, animal protein, purified fish oils, phospholipids, astaxanthin, vitamins, protected minerals, antioxidants, and immunostimulants.
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.
Alexander MacDonald –
Used Golden Pearls for my marine fish larvae and noticed a significant improvement in feeding behavior. The particles stay suspended in the water, which makes it easier for the fry to access the food. No more sinking to the bottom. The fish seem more active and healthier than when using traditional diets.
Madeleine Grant –
The feed works well for early-stage marine fish. The texture is similar to live nauplii, and the fish accept it readily. I appreciate the consistent supply and the fact that it doesn’t require live brine shrimp, which is a big time saver.
Gavin Turner –
After switching from live Artemia, I found Golden Pearls to be more reliable and consistent. The protein content is high, and the fish show better growth rates. The suspension feature is a major advantage in a busy hatchery setup.
