Petra Artemia Frozen Flat Plate in Zipper Bag is a frozen Artemia, or brine shrimp, food for aquarium keepers who want a clean freezer format and flexible portioning. This Shopify parent covers the two live Size variants on the product: 500g (SKU Y877) and 5kg bulk (SKU Y383). Choose the 500g pack for regular home use, or the 5kg bulk option for fish rooms, breeding setups and high-volume feeding routines.
The source product family is listed by Petra/Aquarium.cz as Artemia-frozen flat plate in zipper bag in the frozen-food breeding-packs category. The flat plate format is useful because it can be kept flat in the freezer and portioned as needed, while the zipper bag helps keep the remaining food contained between feeds. It is a straightforward frozen food for keepers who already understand their fish's feeding response and want a dependable Artemia option on hand.
Frozen Artemia is best used as one part of a varied aquarium diet. It gives fish a different texture and feeding response from dry flakes or pellets, so it can be useful for adding variety, conditioning fish before breeding projects, or giving community fish a more interesting feeding routine. Use it alongside appropriate staple foods rather than treating it as the only food in the diet.
Because this is a frozen food, portion control matters. Offer only what the fish will eat promptly, remove excess food, and keep water quality in mind after richer feeds. The flat plate format makes it easier to break off a measured amount compared with a loose block, which is especially helpful when feeding multiple tanks with different appetites.
| Variant | Best for | How to choose |
|---|---|---|
| 500g - SKU Y877 | Regular home aquariums and keepers wanting one manageable frozen plate | Choose this when you feed frozen foods occasionally or have limited freezer space. |
| 5kg bulk - SKU Y383 | Breeders, shops, fish rooms and keepers feeding many tanks | Choose this when frozen Artemia is used frequently and you can store the pack safely. |
The supplier source notes a minimum order quantity of 6 on the product family. If checkout shows quantity rules for your order, follow the live checkout guidance. For most keepers, the important choice is whether the 500g pack or the 5kg bulk pack better matches your feeding volume, freezer space and rate of use.
Keep the product frozen until use. Break off a sensible portion, reseal the zipper bag and return the remaining food to the freezer promptly. Thaw or prepare frozen foods according to your normal aquarium-feeding routine, and avoid refreezing food that has already been thawed.
Feed with restraint. Frozen foods can be very tempting to fish, but uneaten food still affects water quality. Start small, watch the feeding response, and adjust the next feed rather than adding too much at once. For breeding and conditioning setups, consistent small feeds are usually more useful than occasional heavy feeding.
This frozen Artemia flat plate suits keepers who already use frozen foods and want a convenient brine shrimp option in a freezer-friendly pack. It can fit freshwater or marine feeding routines where Artemia is suitable for the fish being kept. It is also a practical choice for breeders or multi-tank keepers who want a repeatable frozen food that is easy to portion.
If you keep very small fry, tiny-mouthed fish or specialist feeders, check whether the food particle size suits the animals before feeding. If your fish are not used to frozen foods, introduce small amounts first and keep the rest of the diet familiar while they learn to recognise it.
A flat plate is useful when you want control over the amount you break off. Blister packs are convenient when you prefer pre-set cubes. Neither format is automatically better for every aquarium; the right choice depends on how many tanks you feed, how quickly you use frozen food and how much freezer space you have available.
For a single small aquarium, a blister pack can be easier to measure. For several aquariums, a breeder rack or a busy fish room, a flat plate often gives more flexibility. The zipper bag on this Artemia plate helps keep the product tidy after opening, which is one of the main reasons to choose this format over loose frozen food.
