Description
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.
-

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
