Ocean Nutrition Frozen Daphnia 100g

Promote healthy digestion and vibrant natural coloration in your freshwater aquarium with Ocean Nutrition Frozen Daphnia (100g Blister Pack). Commonly known as water fleas, daphnia are small freshwater planktonic crustaceans (2–3mm size) that serve as a natural staple food for a wide variety of small and medium tropical fish.

Rich in natural carotene pigments, frozen daphnia help intensify the brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows of your fish. Their naturally tough chitinous shells provide essential dietary roughage, acting as a natural laxative to aid digestion and prevent intestinal blockages. Suspended in water, their gentle buoyancy mimics live floating prey, stimulating natural hunting instincts and active feeding.

Key Features & Benefits

• Natural Color Enhancement: High carotene content naturally boosts bright body pigments, bringing out full color potential.

• Aids Digestive Health: Hard chitinous outer shell provides natural roughage to support gut motility and help prevent bloat.

• Natural Buoyancy: Drifts naturally in water currents to simulate live prey, encouraging active feeding responses.

• Ideal for Small to Medium Fish: 2–3mm organism size is easily consumed by small-mouthed species, community fish, and juveniles.

• Hygienic Blister Pack: Pre-portioned 100g blister cubes enable quick, clean, and effortless daily feeding.
