It is rich in protein, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, and is often enriched to enhance the vitality, coloration, and immune system of fish. Because it is flash-frozen shortly after harvest, it retains its natural look and nutritional value without artificial preservatives.
Key features
Nutritional profile: High in protein, with a good balance of fats, vitamins, and minerals. It is a source of omega-3 and other unsaturated fatty acids.
Palatability: Highly palatable, and can entice picky eaters. It is especially popular with seahorses.
Ease of digestion: Easy for fish to digest, which helps with water quality.
Flash-frozen: Preserves nutritional quality and natural appearance.
Processing: Often gamma-irradiated to ensure it is pathogen-free.
Suitability: Suitable for both marine and freshwater species, including fish, corals, and invertebrates.
Feeding instructions
Feed only as much as your fish can consume within a 2-5 minute period.
It is best to feed small amounts multiple times a day to mimic natural grazing behavior.
Avoid thawing the cubes before feeding; the food will defrost in the water.
Remove any uneaten food promptly to help maintain water quality
Frozen artemia, or brine shrimp, is a highly nutritious, frozen food source for a wide range of aquarium fish, including tropical, marine, and some coldwater species. It is rich in protein, omega fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, and its small size and high palatability stimulate appetite and aid digestion. Manufacturers flash-freeze the artemia to preserve its nutrients, and it is often sterilized to ensure it is free of parasites and pathogens.
Key features and benefits
Nutritional value:
Rich in protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that support healthy growth and vibrant coloration.
Highly palatable:
Stimulates feeding, even among picky or fussy eaters, due to its natural scent and taste.
Digestibility:
Considered easy to digest, which can lead to reduced waste in the aquarium.
Safety:
Many products are sterilized using gamma irradiation to eliminate parasites and pathogens.
Versatility:
Suitable for a variety of fish, from small fry to larger carnivorous and omnivorous species, and is often used for both freshwater and marine environments.
Convenience:
Often sold in individual cubes for easy feeding, which can be dropped directly into the tank after a quick thaw.
Usage and storage
Feeding:
A small cube is typically dropped into the aquarium, either frozen or slightly thawed, and any uneaten food should be removed after a few minutes.
Storage:
Keep the product frozen. If the package is shipped frozen and partially thaws during transit, it should be refrozen immediately to maintain freshness and quality.
Frozen cyclops is a small, fresh-frozen zooplankton food for fish and other aquatic animals, including fish larvae, small-mouthed fish, and marine invertebrates like corals. It is a nutritious, natural live-food alternative that can also promote vibrant colors in fish. The food is typically sold in convenient cubes or blister packs and is often gamma-irradiated to be pathogen-free.
What it is
Zooplankton: Made from tiny, fresh-frozen crustacean zooplankton.
Food for small mouths: An ideal food for fish larvae (fry), small-mouthed fish, seahorses, and pipefish.
Supports filter feeders: Excellent for marine filter-feeding invertebrates and corals.
Natural color enhancer: Contains natural pigments that can help promote vibrant colors in fish.
Pathogen-free: Often gamma-irradiated for safety.
How to use
Break off a small portion, such as a single cube.
Thaw it in a separate container with a small amount of tank water for about 20 minutes. Avoid using hot water or a microwave, as this can break down nutrients.
Slowly add the defrosted food to your aquarium.
Repeat a few times a week to help maintain health and color
"Krill Fine" is a frozen fish food consisting of finely chopped krill, ideal for smaller or more finicky fish like adult Discus, or for use as a base mix for larger species. It is a high-protein, nutrient-rich food that is a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids and astaxanthin, which enhances color. The fine size makes it easy to digest and encourages a feeding response in many fish.
Nutritional information
Protein: High in protein, typically around 50-55% dry matter.
Fat: Contains essential lipids, with up to 25% of the fat content consisting of omega-3 fatty acids.
Vitamins and minerals: A natural source of vitamins, carotenoids like astaxanthin (which enhances color), and other antioxidants.
Chitin: A good source of chitin, which can provide roughage.
Benefits
Enhances color:
The natural carotenoids, particularly astaxanthin, help intensify the red and other colors in fish.
Stimulates feeding:
The fine texture is a natural and appealing food source that can trigger an immediate feeding response.
Promotes health:
The high protein and essential fatty acids support overall health, energy levels, and proper growth.
Versatile:
Can be used as a staple food or as an additive for larger species in products like spod and stick mixes.
How to use
Store the frozen krill in a freezer and only thaw the amount you need for one feeding.
You can thaw it in a small amount of aquarium water before feeding, or in some cases, feed it while still frozen.
Only feed what your fish can consume within a few minutes to avoid soiling the aquarium.

Live marine copepods are small, naturally occurring aquatic crustaceans that serve as a highly nutritious, live food source for various marine fish, including difficult-to-feed species like mandarin fish and seahorses, as well as fish larvae. They are rich in essential nutrients, high-quality fats, and proteins, which support growth, enhance pigmentation, and improve disease resistance in fish. In addition to being a primary food source, copepods also contribute to a healthy aquarium by helping to cycle nutrients and consume algae and detritus, functioning as a natural clean-up crew.
Benefits of Feeding Live Copepods to Marine Fish
Superior Nutrition:Copepods provide essential proteins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and other vital nutrients that promote the health and development of marine fish, especially young fish and fry.
Natural Feeding Behavior:Their natural movement triggers a feeding response in fish, mimicking natural foraging behaviors and making them an ideal food for picky or challenging species like mandarins.
Enhanced Fish Health:The high nutrient content and live nature of copepods can improve a fish's immune system, increase resistance to disease, and reduce stress.
Improved Pigmentation and Growth:Feeding copepods can lead to better coloration in fish and improve their overall growth rates and survival rates.
Aquarium Benefits:Beyond being food, copepods are an active part of the marine ecosystem. They graze on algae and consume detritus, helping to keep the aquarium clean and cycle nutrients.
Suitable SpeciesLive marine copepods are particularly beneficial for:
Difficult-to-Feed Species:Mandarin fish, pipefish, and seahorses.
Fish Larvae and Fry:Their small size and high nutrition make them perfect for young fish and newly hatched larvae.
Corals and Filter Feeders:Copepods and their eggs are also consumed by corals and other filter-feeding organisms.
How to Use and Introduce Copepods
Add to the Aquarium:Introduce bags of live copepods into your aquarium to allow them to reproduce and establish a population.
Utilize Refugiums:Adding copepods to a refugium can create a self-sustaining food source and benefit the larger display tank.
Regular Introduction:Consistently adding copepods helps ensure a continuous supply of live food for your fish and other tank inhabitants.
