Ostracods - Fry and Fish Food
Couldn't load pickup availability
Ostracods (seed shrimp) are tiny crustaceans that scuttle around the tank eating biofilm and detritus. They serve a dual purpose: they are a self-sustaining food source that fish and fry can pick off whenever they are hungry, and they help keep your tank clean. Add them to a tank and they will establish a population that maintains itself. One of the most hands-off live food options available.
- Suitable for: Fry, nano fish, shrimp fry
- Culture difficulty: Very easy
- Self-sustaining: Yes, establishes a colony in your tank
You will receive a starter culture of live ostracods.
