Overview
Red plankton, also known as calanus, is a naturally occurring zooplankton that many marine fish and invertebrates are specifically adapted to feed on. Frozen Red Plankton from Ocean Nutrition brings this natural food source to your tank in a convenient frozen format, offering a genuinely useful addition to a varied feeding routine.
Its natural pigmentation and fine size make it particularly appealing to fish that respond to colour and movement in their food.
Key features
- Naturally occurring red plankton (calanus), quickly frozen to preserve quality
- Fine particle size suited to a range of fish and filter-feeding invertebrates
- Adds genuine dietary variety alongside standard staple foods
Who it's for
A useful addition for reef keepers wanting to diversify their fish and invertebrate feeding beyond the standard brine shrimp or mysis rotation.
Setup & tips
- Feed in modest amounts to avoid overloading the water column with uneaten particles
- Broadcast feed for filter feeders and smaller fish alike
- Reduce flow briefly during feeding to improve capture rates
- Rotate with other foods as part of a varied feeding routine
