Gamma Red Plankton Frozen Food – 100g

Natural Plankton for Smaller & Plankton-Feeding Fish

Gamma Red Plankton is a natural frozen food based on Calanus plankton, providing a small and highly appealing food that's ideal for adding greater variety to your aquarium feeding programme.

For fish that naturally pick small crustaceans and plankton from the water column, Red Plankton offers a very different feeding experience from larger frozen foods such as Mysis and Krill.

Why Choose Gamma Red Plankton?

Food size matters. While larger fish can comfortably tackle Mysis, Krill and other substantial foods, many smaller fish naturally prefer smaller prey.

Red Plankton gives these fish a suitably small frozen food while also making an excellent dietary addition for larger fish that naturally consume plankton.

It's particularly useful for:

• Small and medium marine fish
• Plankton-feeding species
• Fish that prefer smaller food particles
• Mixed marine communities
• Adding variety to everyday feeding
• Rotating with Mysis and Brineshrimp
• Fish that actively feed from the water column

Simple, Natural Ingredients

Tropical Marine Centre lists the ingredients as:

Calanus sp. • Water

Calanus are small planktonic crustaceans, making Red Plankton a natural animal-based food rather than a formulated pellet or flake.

TMC highlights Red Plankton as a source of protein, vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids, giving it a useful place within a varied aquarium diet.

Its naturally small size also means it disperses differently through the aquarium from larger foods, giving fish the opportunity to chase and pick individual particles from the water.

A Great Food for Dietary Rotation

Red Plankton doesn't need to replace Mysis or Brineshrimp – it complements them.

Rotating different frozen foods provides different food sizes, textures and ingredients throughout the week.

Try combining Red Plankton with Mysis for a larger meaty food, Brineshrimp for another popular crustacean food, or Krill for larger fish and bigger appetites.

This makes Red Plankton particularly valuable for customers wanting to build a more varied frozen-food selection.

Gamma Irradiated for Added Biosecurity

Gamma frozen foods are gamma irradiated 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 food is rapidly packed, sealed and frozen to help maintain freshness and quality.

Gamma frozen foods are also used exclusively throughout Tropical Marine Centre's four fish-holding facilities.

Convenient 100g Blister Pack

Individual frozen portions make feeding quick and convenient while leaving the remaining cubes separately sealed.

Feed according to the number, size and appetite of your fish and only offer as much as your livestock will readily consume.
