Freeze-drying preserves nutrition and shelf life without the mess or parasite risk of live or frozen foods, and San Francisco Bay Brand built its reputation on exactly that process. Two products cover everyday feeding and a nutrient-dense option for larger predatory fish.
Why Freeze-Dried Works
Freeze-drying removes moisture while preserving the original nutritional profile far better than heat-drying, and eliminates the parasite and pathogen risk that comes with live or frozen foods - all while giving a long shelf life that doesn't require a freezer.
Choosing a Food
- Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp - a protein-rich, all-natural food that virtually every freshwater and marine fish recognizes instantly, a reliable everyday staple across most community and reef tanks.
- Silversides - whole freeze-dried saltwater fish, rich in HUFAs (highly unsaturated fatty acids), a nutrient-dense, natural-format food suited to larger predatory and semi-predatory species.
Feeding Tips
- Soak before feeding to rehydrate and help the food sink rather than floating and fouling the surface.
- Use Brine Shrimp as a daily staple across most community fish, and reserve Silversides for species that specifically benefit from whole-prey nutrition.
- Store in a cool, dry place to preserve shelf life between feedings.
