Daphnia - 5 Bottles
Daphnia magna, commonly known as Daphnia are a popular and great livefood for fish and other organisms. They are also an excellent addition to outdoor ponds and aquatic ecosystems. Adult Daphnia are range between the size of 2mm to 5mm which is about the size of a small fish food pellet. Daphnia drive fish into a feeding frenzy, especially after your fish have been exposed to a couple of feedings.
Daphnia is a highly nutritious live feed for fish and other organisms and Hydralife only grows our daphnia from the highest quality live and prepared foods to ensure your Daphnia provide the greatest level of nutrition to your fish. In home freshwater aquariums, Daphnia make feeding fish exciting and provide great nutrition.
In outdoor ponds, Daphnia have the potential to seed themselves in the ecosystem and therefore provide a sustainable food source for your fish or other inhabitants. They feed off of water borne algae and will help inhibit phytoplankton blooms for clearer water in your pond. They also feed on insect larval which reduces misquitos and other types of bugs.
For fish breeders, Daphnia can be key to raising fish fry and fingerlings to adulthood. Their swimming motion naturally entices fish to hunt and feed and they have a high level of protein and variety of minerals to develop newly hatched and young fish.
Overall, Daphnia have many great characterists that make it a great live feed for freshwater fish in aquariums, seeding outdoor ponds and providing food to fish fry in fish breeding facilities.
