The Natural Choice for Predatory Species

For the beginner aquarist transitioning from flakes to frozen foods, Stoffel’s Stint is the gold standard for carnivorous care. Stints are small, slender fish that serve as a primary food source in the wild. By providing whole prey, you are ensuring your fish receive not just muscle meat, but essential minerals found in bones and internal organs—nutrients often missing in processed pellets.

Why Choose Frozen Stint?

• High Protein Content: Essential for the rapid growth and muscular development of predatory species.

• Encourages Instinctive Behavior: Feeding whole fish stimulates the natural “strike” response in hunters like Arrowanas and Datnoids.

• Minimal Tank Pollution: Unlike messy “mushy” foods, whole stints stay intact longer, keeping your water clearer for longer periods.

• Flash-Frozen Freshness: Our process locks in vitamins and prevents the introduction of parasites often found in live feeder fish.

Feeding Instructions for Beginners

1. Thaw: Remove the desired number of fish from the bag. Place them in a small container with a bit of aquarium water for 10–15 minutes until soft.

2. Offer: Use feeding tongs to wiggle the stint near the surface or mid-water to attract your fish.

3. Monitor: Only feed what your fish can consume within 2-3 minutes. Remove any uneaten portions immediately to maintain water quality.

Pro Tip: Never feed frozen food directly to your fish while it is still icy. This can cause “thermal shock” to their digestive tract. Always ensure it is at room temperature.
