The Natural Choice for Healthy Fish

For the beginner aquarist, moving beyond flake food can feel intimidating, but Live Tubifex is the simplest way to transform your fish’s health. Unlike processed pellets, live Tubifex worms provide essential fatty acids and enzymes that promote vibrant coloration and rapid growth.

Why Choose Live Tubifex?

• High Protein Content: Ideal for juvenile fish growth and repairing damaged fins.

• Stimulates Foraging: The natural movement of the worms encourages bottom-dwellers like Corydoras and Kuhli Loaches to sift through substrate, mimicking their wild behavior.

• Breeding Trigger: Professional breeders use Tubifex to “condition” fish, signaling that nutrient-rich resources are available for spawning.

Feeding Guide for Beginners

1. Rinse: Before adding to the tank, pour the 45ml pouch into a fine-mesh net and rinse under cool, dechlorinated water.

2. Portion Control: Only feed what your fish can consume within 3–5 minutes.

3. The “Worm Cup” Method: Use a floating worm feeder (a small cone with holes) to prevent the Tubifex from burrowing into your gravel too quickly.

Storage and Maintenance

To keep your 45ml portion fresh, store it in the refrigerator. For maximum longevity, place the worms in a shallow container with just enough fresh, dechlorinated water to cover them, and change the water daily.

Pro Tip: If you see any worms that aren’t moving or have turned a pale grey, remove them immediately to maintain the water quality of your live culture.
