Golden Pearl Diets - Imported from the USA.

A specialised feed proving very popular in the USA. Used in hatcheries with marine & freshwater fish & shrimps.
Breeders have asked us to get this range in & having used it I can see why. Really nice feed.
Micro encapsulated granules with tiny air particles. These granules mimic Artemia (Brine Shrimp) & are used to replace this diet in up to 80% of feeds.
Highly palatable & digestible.
Range of granule sizes from 5 micron fry feed (suitable for egglayers) up to 1mm.
Tests in our fish house on imported fish have been amazing. Wild Tetra's really appreciate it floating in the water column.
This food is destined to be a best seller in our opinion.


800-1000 grade - magnified - note the tiny air bubbles on the granules.

Looks similar to our Red Astax granule but totally different. Smells really nice too.
Again, this is NOT Tetra Prima re-bagged.
grades are the same as the Red Astax granule - grade 2 being 200-300 micron, grade 3 being 300-500 micron etc.

5 - 50 micron

High attractant quality to this powder. Used in commercial hatcheries (marine & freshwater). A specialist food as these diets stay bouyant in the water column. An ideal food for marine inverts as it mimics plankton.
It is also a useful food for freshwater fish.

I feed this to egglayer fry. I obtained some new Danio sp. & the Rainbow - Melanotaenia parkinsoni. I was only holding them for a few days but they both dropped eggs. As I'm geared up to fry which take newly hatched brine shrimp I had to find a suitable food fast.
Normally I would use Interpet Liquifry but I had none handy so I used this powder by putting some in a bottle top with a little water & stirred it up into a cloudy suspension.
Under a magnifying glass I could see the small fry taking it up. Definately in my list of foods I feed in the fish house.
A little goes a long way & this works out

We feed newly imported Corydoras loads of newly hatched Brine Shrimp & this diet works really well in getting them used to prepared foods.
