Frozen Daphnia Katrinex 100 g – live food alternative for aquarium and pond fish

Katrinex Frozen Daphnia in a 100 g pack is a frozen live-food alternative intended for aquarium and pond fish. Supplied frozen to lock in nutrients and simplify storage and portioning, these small aquatic crustaceans provide a natural source of protein and are suitable as a supplemental diet for many small to medium carnivorous and omnivorous species. The product is particularly useful for feeding fry, supporting natural foraging behaviour and varying routine diets without live-culture maintenance.

Advantages

Frozen Daphnia preserves proteins and essential nutrients through immediate freezing after preparation, offering a convenient, ready-to-use alternative to live cultures. The 100 g portion allows easy thawing and portion control while reducing the risk of introducing parasites or unwanted organisms compared with some live feeds. The texture and size of Daphnia make it attractive to many species and suitable for promoting natural feeding responses in aquarium and pond environments.

Suitable for

• Small to medium carnivorous and omnivorous aquarium fish
• Pond fish that accept frozen feed
• Fry and juvenile fish during rearing
• Supplementing flake, pellet or frozen diets to increase protein variety
