Live Food for Tropical Fish

Tropical fish do not live by flakes alone. Obtaining live and frozen food for your tropical fish, is as simple as a trip to the pet store, or a little foraging in the country.

Plankton - A live organism, either a floating plant or animal, and natural food for many species. Can be harvested from ponds, or ocean born plankton can be purchased from suppliers, either fresh or frozen.

Brine Shrimp - Can be raised by the hobbyist to feed on their own, but it takes a continuous effort to produce the supply needed. Brine shrimp are harvested from saltwater ponds around the world. The “cysts”, or egg, can be kept in a dry environment for months, then re-hydrated and hatched. Fish prefer live over frozen, but frozen can be purchased from most fish food suppliers.

Blood Worms - Bettas love this protein rich, all natural food. Freeze drying locks in nutrients and preserves the natural shape, making it more appetizing for finicky eaters. Never clouds the water.
