Why Choose Stoffels Waterfleas?

For the beginner aquarist, maintaining a balanced diet is the secret to a thriving aquarium. While high-quality flakes and pellets provide a great foundation, adding Stoffels Waterfleas (Daphnia) introduces variety and vital nutrients that dry foods often lack.

Daphnia are tiny crustaceans known as “nature’s laxative” for fish. Because they have a high-fiber exoskeleton, they help sweep the digestive tract, making them an excellent choice for species prone to digestive issues, such as Fancy Goldfish, Bettas, and Cichlids.

Key Benefits for Your Aquarium

• Natural Digestion: Prevents constipation and swim bladder issues by providing essential roughage.

• Vibrant Coloration: Contains natural pigments that enhance the scales and fin colors of your fish.

• Flash-Frozen Freshness: Stoffels uses a rapid-freezing process to lock in vitamins and ensure the product is free from pathogens found in live ponds.

• Easy Portioning: No more guessing. Simply pop out a cube, defrost, and feed.

Feeding Instructions for Beginners

1. Defrosting: Take one cube from the blister pack and place it in a small container with a little bit of aquarium water. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes until fully thawed.

2. Feeding: Slowly pour the thawed Daphnia into the tank. Only feed as much as your fish can consume within 2 minutes.

3. Frequency: For best results, use as a supplement 2–3 times per week alongside your primary fish food.

4. Tip: Never refreeze the cubes once they have thawed to maintain nutritional integrity.
