zooplankton rotifers 300 ml

Rotifers: An ideal food source for aquatic farming Rotifers are tiny planktonic organisms belonging to the Rotifera family. They play a key role in the aquatic ecosystem and are widely used in aquariums, aquaculture, and the rearing of fish and invertebrate larvae. 🦠 Why use rotifers? ✅ Microscopic size (50-200 µm) : Ideal for feeding fish and coral larvae. ✅ Easily digestible : Suitable for marine and freshwater organisms. ✅ Rich in proteins and essential fatty acids (DHA, EPA) : Promotes healthy and rapid growth. ✅ Excellent for raising fry and filter-feeding invertebrates . How to cultivate rotifers? 💧 1. Prepare the culture medium Use seawater or salinized freshwater (~15 to 25 ppt). Maintain a temperature of 22 to 28°C for optimal reproduction. Add light aeration to avoid stagnation. 🌿 2. Feed the rotifers Their main food source is phytoplankton (Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis, Dunaliella) . Alternatively, use substitutes such as baker's yeast or micro-particles enriched with DHA/EPA. 🔄 3. Harvesting and maintenance Filter some of the culture daily to avoid overcrowding. Renew approximately 20-30% of the water volume every week to maintain optimal quality. Maintain a density of 100 to 500 rotifers/ml for continuous production. 📦 Availability At Reef&Fish , we offer live rotifer cultures , ideal for feeding your fish and corals. 🌊 Boost the growth and vitality of your livestock with our quality rotifers!
