Why Feed Live Food?
Adding live foods to your aquarium's feeding routine can provide variety while encouraging the natural hunting and feeding behaviours seen in fish in the wild.
Movement can make live foods particularly attractive to newly introduced, shy or selective feeders, while different sizes of live food allow you to choose something appropriate for the livestock in your aquarium.
Live Copepods
Best for Mandarins, smaller feeders & reef biodiversity. Small and naturally active, live copepods are an excellent addition to reef aquariums and provide live prey for suitable smaller and plankton-feeding inhabitants.
Live Brine Shrimp
Best for general live feeding & selective fish. Versatile live foods that can be used to introduce variety into the diets of many marine aquarium fish while encouraging active feeding behaviour.
Live Mysis Shrimp
Best for Nutrition + feeding response. Versatile live foods that can be used to introduce variety into the diets of many marine aquarium fish while encouraging active feeding behaviour.
Live River Shrimp
Best for larger predatory fish. A much larger live food option suitable for appropriately sized predatory marine fish.
Phytoplankton
Best for copepods, microfauna & suitable filter feeders. A microscopic live food option for suitable filter-feeding reef inhabitants and an excellent addition to the feeding regime of appropriate reef systems.
Hatch Your Own Live Food
Best for breeding fry & filter feeders. Our brine shrimp eggs allow you to hatch fresh brine shrimp at home, providing a convenient supply of tiny live food when required.
