bro just for sharing, the ocean nutrition one is the smallest bbs. It can also be used for first feed.

for bbs ( hatching one ) there are also different sizes. OSI one seems to be the smallest micron. not sure about the hikari but seems like a cool product

That looks like rehydrated decap bbs, its preserved in brine solution.

I just prepared a batch at home using instructions from the net.

Soak dry brine eggs in freshwater for 1 hour, wait for them to sink, then add 1/3 bleach, stir for few mins till they turn orange, drain and flush with lots of water.

Just fed my batch of angelfish frys last week and they are still alive!

Its backup fry food for emergency days when daphnia (boon) out of stock at lfs.
