Why Choose Stoffels Tubifex? Tubifex worms are a legendary “superfood” in the aquarium hobby. Known for their high protein and fat content, they are the ideal choice for conditioning breeding pairs, helping underweight fish recover, or simply giving your pets a treat they will go crazy for. Stoffels uses a specialized cleaning and flash-freezing process to ensure that these worms are safe, clean, and free from the pathogens often associated with live tubifex.

Benefits for Your Aquarium

• High Palatability: Even the pickiest eaters, such as Discus or wild-caught Dwarf Cichlids, find it hard to resist the scent of real tubifex.

• Optimal Growth: The amino acid profile supports muscle development and healthy tissue repair.

• Convenience: No more messy handling. The blister pack allows you to pop out exactly one cube at a time, keeping the rest of the pack sealed and fresh.

• Safe Alternative to Live Food: Frozen tubifex provides the nutritional benefits of live food without the risk of introducing parasites or bacteria into your tank.

A Beginner’s Guide: How to Feed

If you are new to the hobby, feeding frozen food is simple! Follow these steps for a clean tank:

1. Portioning: Take one cube from the blister (one cube usually feeds 10-15 small fish).

2. Thawing: Place the cube in a small cup with a little bit of aquarium water. Let it defrost for 2-3 minutes.

3. Rinsing (Optional but Recommended): Pour the thawed worms through a fine-mesh net and rinse with fresh water to remove excess organic liquid.

4. Feeding: Drop small amounts into the tank. Watch your fish feast!

5. Frequency: Because tubifex is very rich, we recommend feeding it 2–3 times per week as a supplement to a high-quality flake or pellet diet.
