Daphnia – Live Fish Food Your Fry Will Love

Looking for a high-quality, natural food source for your baby fish or small tropical species? Our live Daphnia are the perfect solution. These tiny freshwater crustaceans are a nutrient-rich, protein-packed food that help promote rapid growth and vibrant health in young or small fish.

Why Choose Daphnia?

• Ideal for Fry and Small Fish
  Daphnia are small enough for newborn fry to eat, and their jerky, darting movement makes them irresistible to even the pickiest eaters.

• Live, Active Nutrition
  Unlike dried or frozen options, Daphnia are alive and swimming—stimulating natural hunting instincts and improving feeding response.

• Clean and Easy to Digest
  Daphnia are a clean live food that won’t foul your water. Their soft bodies are easily digestible, reducing waste and helping keep your tank healthy.

• Great for Gut Loading
  Want to boost nutrition even more? Daphnia can be fed high-quality supplements before being offered to your fish—giving your fry exactly what they need, when they need it.

• Simple to Culture
  Whether you use them for daily feedings or just want a steady backup food source, Daphnia are easy to keep and multiply quickly with just a little care.

• Algae’s Tiny Match: Captivatingly efficient, Daphnia graze on microscopic algae, helping clarify water and maintain system equilibrium—naturally.
