The Perfect Start for Small Fish and Fry

For the beginner aquarist, providing the right sized food is often the biggest challenge. Stoffels Cyclops Intensive Red offers a professional-grade solution. Cyclops are tiny crustaceans (copepods) that occur naturally in many aquatic environments. Because of their small size (approx. 0.5 – 1.0 mm), they are the perfect “first food” for growing fry and a staple diet for small-mouthed species like Tetras, Rasboras, and Guppies.

Why “Intensive Red”?

Color is a primary indicator of fish health. This specific variety is enriched with natural pigments that help bring out the vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows in your fish. Unlike artificial colorants, Stoffels uses natural sources to ensure your aquarium looks stunning without compromising the biological health of your pets.

Key Benefits:

• Enhanced Vitality: High protein content supports rapid growth and strong immune systems.

• Natural Instincts: The small particles drift naturally in the water column, encouraging the hunting instincts of your fish.

• Clean Water Formula: Stoffels processes their frozen food to minimize “leaking” nutrients, helping to keep your nitrate and phosphate levels stable.

• Easy Portioning: The blister pack allows you to pop out exactly what you need, reducing waste and overfeeding.

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.

2. Rinsing (Optional): Once melted, you can pour the mixture through a fine-mesh net to rinse off any residual juices before adding to the tank.

3. Feeding: Pour small amounts into the tank. Only feed what your fish can consume within 2–3 minutes.

4. Frequency: Feed 1–2 times daily as part of a varied diet.
