Hikari Frozen Daphnia Cubes 3.5oz

Frozen daphnia cubes, the light, fibrous food keepers reach for as a change of pace from richer meaty diets.

Key features

• Daphnia are small planktonic crustaceans, commonly called water fleas, and they are sized for small mouths including most community tropicals and growing fry.
• Long used in the hobby as a roughage or laxative-type food after a run of heavy feeding.
• Their drifting movement in the water triggers a feeding response in fish that ignore flake.
• Pre-portioned cubes let you feed a measured amount without thawing the whole pack.

Feeding and handling

• Drop a cube into a small container of tank water, let it thaw, then pour in the daphnia and leave most of the pack liquid behind.
• Feed only what is eaten within a minute or two.
• Return the pack to the freezer straight away.
