Small Frozen Food for Smaller & Selective Feeders

Gamma Frozen Copepods provide a naturally small crustacean food that's particularly useful for aquarium inhabitants that prefer smaller food particles.

Their small size makes copepods a useful alternative to larger frozen foods such as Mysis, Krill and chopped seafood, while also providing greater dietary variety within marine and mixed aquarium feeding programmes.

Why Feed Frozen Copepods?

Copepods form an important part of aquatic food webs and are naturally consumed by many fish and other aquatic animals.

Their small size makes frozen copepods particularly useful when feeding:

• Smaller marine fish
• Fish with small mouths
• Selective feeders
• Smaller tropical fish
• Reef aquarium inhabitants that capture small suspended foods
• Fish that benefit from greater frozen-food variety

Once thawed and dispersed into the aquarium, their small size allows the food to spread through the water column where smaller feeders can readily capture it.

A Useful Food for Marine Aquariums

Frozen copepods can be particularly useful in reef aquariums containing smaller fish that may struggle with larger pieces of Mysis, Krill or other meaty frozen foods.

They can also be rotated alongside other appropriate frozen foods to provide a broader and more interesting feeding programme.

For fish with highly specialised diets, frozen copepods should form part of an appropriate varied feeding regime rather than being assumed to replace access to their normal specialist foods.

Gamma Irradiated for Added Biosecurity

Gamma frozen foods undergo gamma irradiation as part of their production process.

Tropical Marine Centre states that this eliminates the risk of introducing harmful parasites or bacteria through the frozen food.

The ingredients are rapidly packed, sealed and frozen to help preserve the food before being individually portioned into convenient blister cubes.

Convenient Blister Pack

Each 100g blister pack dispenses one measured cube at a time while leaving the remaining food sealed within the individual blisters.

This makes everyday feeding:

• Quick and convenient
• Easy to portion
• Simple to store
• Less messy
• Easy to incorporate into a varied feeding programme

Feeding Guide

Remove the required portion from the blister pack and feed an appropriate amount according to the number and size of animals within your aquarium.

Frozen copepods can be used alone for an individual feeding or rotated with foods such as Mysis, Brineshrimp and other appropriately sized frozen foods to provide greater dietary variety.

Avoid excessive feeding and adjust the amount according to how quickly the food is consumed.
