Food suitable for: - Freshwater fish - Saltwater fish - Turtles- (especially for predatory freshwater fish)Info:Shrimps have an elongated, more or less cylindrical and laterally slightly compressed body with a thin carapace. They have long antennae ("antennae"; 2nd antenna at the base with a large scale: exopodite) and have only delicate grasping organs ("claws"); the legs in the rear section of the body are remodelled into swimming organs. The head usually carries a forward-facing, elongated projection, the rostrum. Sand shrimps are characterised by a very high protein content.
Ruto Krill Fine Flat Pack
Food suitable for: - Freshwater fish - Saltwater fish - Turtles - (especially for large cichlids) Info: Krill is the name given to a whole group of small creatures that are caught in the cold, nutrient-rich areas of the oceans. The largest proportion are crustaceans of various sizes. Krill is a Norwegian word meaning whale food. In a narrower sense, krill refers to euphausids, which are small crustaceans that are part of the plankton (zooplankton) and belong to the shrimp-like crustaceans of the order Euphausiacea. The best known species is the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), as well as Euphausia pacifica. Krill form huge swarms. The biomass is estimated at 100 - 800 million tonnes, making E. superba probably the most successful animal species in the world (world fishery yield approx. 100 million tonnes per year for comparison). It forms the basis of the Antarctic ecosystem and is the main food of many whales, seals, ice fish, squid, penguins, albatrosses and other birds. Krill grow up to six centimetres long, weigh two grams and probably live for up to six years. The "stomach" shimmers green through the transparent skin, indicating that E. superba feeds mainly on phytoplankton, especially diatoms, which it filters out of the water with its catch basket. It converts the primary production directly into a relatively large animal. Krill can also harvest algae from the underside of the pack ice. The total catch of E. superba is around 90,000 tonnes per year. Krill are also known as luminous shrimps or luminous crabs, as they have luminous organs on their blue eyes and body that emit a yellow-green light (bioluminescence).

Ruto Moina (very small water fleas) approx. 0.5 mm Flat Pack 1 kgFood suitable for: - Freshwater fish - Saltwater fish - Cold water fish- Turtles- (especially as rearing food)Info:Water fleas in the broader sense is a colloquial term for a series of small crustaceans from various families and genera (Daphnia, Bosmina, Cyclops, Simocephalus and others) of crustaceans that belong to the zooplankton of fresh water. The name refers to the way the animals move through the water. By intermittently rowing with their antennae, the impression of a flea-like hopping is created.The species Daphnia pulex is called water flea in the narrower sense and the species Daphnia magna is called giant water flea, the latter, especially the form Daphnia magna straus, is used for water quality tests.Water fleas usually reproduce asexually, in this case by parthenogenesis. This means that the female adult animals produce eggs whose genetic material is an identical copy of the mother's genetic material, one could also speak of cloning. Male eggs are formed in stressful situations, for example in the event of major temperature changes, food or oxygen shortages, the presence of toxic substances or a high density of predators. The resulting males reproduce sexually with the females, resulting in recombination of the genetic material and thus more diversity, which is advantageous for the survival of the species.Even with the greatest care, it can happen that feed animals die due to temperature fluctuations or unpredictable events. We accept no liability for this.
Ruto Whole mussel meat (loose frozen) 1kg bagFood suitable for: - Freshwater fish - Saltwater fish - Turtles- (especially for lower animals)Info:Of all the mussels available in northern to central European regions, only the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) is likely to be of aquaristic interest.They line the coasts of the cooler seas and sheltered fjords - they should be familiar to anyone who has ever visited the North Sea coast.With the help of their so-called byssus threads, which are produced in a special gland, the blue mussel attaches itself to all reasonably stable surfaces such as stones, ropes, groynes, quay walls or even to conspecifics.It does this primarily in the intertidal zone, which is rich in suspended matter and where extensive mussel beds can be found.Mussels are filter feeders, i.e. they pump seawater through their open shells into their gills using flagellar movements. These have a net-like structure to filter out utilisable microorganisms and phytoplankton. An adult mussel is able to pump up to 70 litres of water per day.Mytilus edulis is rich in iron, vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids.Food tip:For feeding small to medium-sized fish, mussel meat should be cut into mouth-sized pieces and fed directly.For larger fish, the mussels can be halved so that they can also enjoy the algae-rich stomach contents of the mussels.
