The Essential Foundation for Your Marine Tank

For the beginner aquarist, maintaining a thriving reef tank often feels like a balancing act. Our Live Marine Rotifers offer a simple, natural solution to one of the most common challenges: proper nutrition. These tiny organisms (ranging from 100 to 300 microns) act as a vital bridge between primary producers like phytoplankton and your larger marine inhabitants.

Why Choose Brachionus plicatilis?

Unlike dried or frozen foods, live rotifers trigger a natural hunting instinct in fish and corals. Their erratic swimming motion makes them an irresistible target for:

  • SPS and LPS Corals: Helps increase polyp extension and growth rates.

  • Larval Fish & Fry: The perfect “first food” for clownfish and sea horse breeders.

  • Filter Feeders: Essential for clams, sponges, and fan worms.

Nutritional Excellence

Our rotifers are “gut-loaded” with premium marine microalgae before packaging. This ensures that when they enter your tank, they are packed with Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA/EPA), providing a concentrated burst of energy to your reef inhabitants.

Beginner-Friendly Usage Instructions

  1. Acclimation: While hardy, it is best to allow the 90ml pouch to reach room temperature before pouring.

  2. Feeding: Turn off your protein skimmer and wavemakers for 15–20 minutes. Pour the desired amount directly into the water column or use a target feeder for specific corals.

  3. Frequency: For a standard reef tank, feeding 2–3 times a week is recommended to maintain a healthy micro-fauna population.

Pro Tip: If you aren’t using the entire 90ml at once, keep the remainder in the refrigerator. This slows their metabolism, keeping them alive and nutritionally viable for up to 5–7 days.
