The Natural Choice for Healthy Growth

For the beginner aquarist, choosing the right “treat” or supplemental food is vital for long-term health. Stoffels Gammarus consists of small, freshwater crustaceans known as “scuds.” In the wild, these are a staple food source for many species. By feeding Stoffels frozen Gammarus, you are replicating a natural diet that encourages predatory instincts and energetic behavior.

Why Choose Stoffels Gammarus?

• Rich in Chitin: The exoskeleton of the Gammarus provides essential fiber (chitin), which aids in the digestive health of both fish and turtles.

• Color Enhancement: Naturally occurring carotenoids in these shrimp help intensify the reds, oranges, and yellows of your fish.

• Convenient Portioning: The blister pack design allows you to pop out exactly one cube at a time, keeping the rest of the product fresh and preventing overfeeding.

• Clean and Safe: Unlike live foods, which can carry parasites, Stoffels’ flash-freezing process ensures a pathogen-free meal while retaining peak nutritional value.

Feeding Instructions for Beginners

1. Defrosting: Take one cube and place it in a small container with a bit of aquarium water. Allow it to thaw for 5 minutes.

2. Rinsing (Optional): Many hobbyists prefer to drain the thaw water through a fine-mesh net to keep the aquarium water as clear as possible.

3. Frequency: Feed 2–3 times per week as a supplement to a high-quality flake or pellet diet.

4. Targeting: Gammarus tend to float or sink slowly; they are perfect for surface-feeding turtles or mid-water hunting cichlids.
