Your sign to give your fish live foods!
Pssst... we think your fish might want some live foods!
Did you know live foods can be a game-changer for your aquarium?
Not only are they packed with essential nutrients like proteins, fatty acids, and vitamins, but they also encourage fish to engage in instinctual behaviors, reducing stress and promoting enrichment. Whether it’s chasing brine shrimp or hunting tiny crustaceans, it's fascinating to watch your fish eat like they would in the wild!
Stop by our Plankton Pub to incorporate live foods into your fishkeeping routine!
