Specially cultivated freshwater microfauna for a healthy aquarium!
Seeding your aquarium with microfauna is ideal! Mostly burrowed in the aquasoil and aquarium sand, microfauna plays a major role in preventing cyanobacteria, fighting hair and nuisance algae, eliminating waste, and keeping the aquarium clean. This ensures your aquarium remains healthy and stable long-term.
Given the paramount importance of freshwater microfauna and zooplankton, we have been feeding all our fish with our daphnia and freshwater microfauna for 30 years. We seed our aquariums monthly with spectacular results.
The freshwater daphnia and zooplankton culture kit will provide you with a continuous supply of live food that all your aquarium fish will love. Daphnie Food will allow you to feed the daphnia and freshwater zooplankton.
Cultivating daphnia and freshwater microfauna:
With our kit, you can culture daphnia and feed your fish with live food packed with vitamins, proteins, and carotenoids. There is no better food, as it is perfectly suited to your fish's needs! Fish fed with our live daphnia have increased longevity, robust health, and vibrant colors! While flake or pellet foods can constipate fish, daphnia and microfauna act as a natural laxative. This is highly beneficial, knowing that many fish suffer from overfeeding or digestive issues.
You will find a very simple and well-proven protocol and culture guide above (tested for over 25 years) that will help you easily maintain your daphnia and freshwater zooplankton culture.
Kit composition:
This kit includes one bottle of freshwater zooplankton, daphnia, and microfauna (daphnia, ostracods, cyclops, rotifers, and other microorganisms invisible to the naked eye), and one bottle of Daphnie Food, a specific food for breeding daphnia and freshwater zooplankton.
It is normal not to see a huge amount of adult daphnia upon arrival; otherwise, they would die from oxygen depletion during transit. Occasional losses may occur. We include egg-bearing daphnia ready to hatch. Once in their new habitat, they will reproduce abundantly.
For your information, the color of the daphnia can range from orange-red to translucent green.
Directions and recommendations for use:
For optimal results, we advise you to follow the culture setup protocol available in the "attached documents" section.
Preferably use hard water for your daphnia and microfauna culture.
Storage:
The products must be stored in the refrigerator upon receipt. Bring the bottle of daphnia and microfauna to room temperature before pouring it into the aquarium. This specific bottle should be used as soon as the parcel is received. Preferably, any opened bottle should be used continuously without interruption.
