Dried Dafnia (Daphnia) 70 ml fish food, Katrinex — natural live feed substitute for aquarium and pond fish

Katrinex Dried Dafnia (Daphnia) 70 ml is a dried live-feed substitute formulated for aquarium and pond fish. Presented in a compact 70 ml portion, this product offers a natural source of protein and chitin that can be used as a supplementary or occasional feed to diversify the diet of carnivorous and omnivorous ornamental fish. The dried Daphnia retains the shape and nutritional profile of the original planktonic crustaceans, enabling straightforward portioning and storage without the requirements of live-culture maintenance.

Advantages

Dried Daphnia provides a concentrated, shelf-stable alternative to live feed, reducing the need for continuous culture and lowering the risk of introducing pathogens associated with fresh live feed. Its natural composition supports feeding stimulation and conditioning before breeding or display, while the dried form is easy to measure and incorporate into regular feeding routines. The product is suitable for both small-scale hobbyists and larger pond or aquarium setups seeking dietary variety for their fish.

Suitable for

• Supplementary nutrition for carnivorous ornamental fish
• Dietary variety for omnivorous aquarium species
• Occasional feed to stimulate appetite and conditioning
• Feeding in ponds and outdoor tanks where live feed is impractical

Key specifications

• Form: dried whole Daphnia
• Net portion: 70 ml packaging volume
• Primary nutrients: natural protein source with chitin content
• Intended use: supplementary or occasional feed
• Storage: shelf-stable when stored in a dry, cool place

How to use

Introduce small portions of dried Daphnia directly into the aquarium or pond water. Allow the flakes or particles to rehydrate briefly and observe feeding activity; offer only what fish consume within a few minutes to avoid water quality degradation. Use as a supplement to a balanced staple diet rather than as the sole food source. Adjust portion size according to fish species, size and appetite, and remove any uneaten residues after feeding.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine Katrinex Dried Dafnia with a regular high-quality staple feed to ensure all nutritional requirements are met. Introduce the product gradually to new groups of fish and limit use to occasional or supplementary feedings to prevent overreliance. Store the package sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain quality.
