Live food red mosquito larvae

Shelf life 1–4 weeks

  • Live food is the most natural way of feeding ornamental fish. No other food is as complete.
  • With all essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients
  • Stimulates the hunting instinct
  • Promotes vitality

Red mosquito larvae are very popular with ornamental fish lovers as a high-quality source of live food, as they provide a rich source of protein and important nutrients.

These larvae come from the midge species Chironomus plumosus and are typically reddish-brown or orange in color. They are not only rich in protein, but also contain essential fats and minerals that help to promote the health of ornamental fish. Red mosquito larvae optimally supplement the fish's diet and promote their growth and resistance.

When feeding, it is important to give the right amount to avoid overfeeding and potential water quality problems. Only give as much food as your fish can consume in a short period of time. Excessive feeding can lead to rotting in the aquarium and affect the water quality, which can lead to health problems in the fish.

Instructions for feeding live food:
It is important to wash live food before feeding to remove potential contaminants, bacteria and polluted water and to protect the health of ornamental fish. Here is a guide to washing live food:

  1. Place the live food in a strainer or colander and rinse thoroughly. This is best done with aquarium water or non-carbonated mineral water.
  2. Now pour the live food into a clean container and cover it with a little aquarium water. Leave the food to stand for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Now pour off the water
  4. The food can now be given to the fish.

Even with the greatest care, it can happen that food animals die due to temperature fluctuations or incalculable events during transportation. We accept no liability for this.

Tested on JBL research expeditions in the tropicsVery high acceptance even by fussy species of live-bearing toothcarps due to high-quality raw materials such as salmon, shrimps and spirulinaWith very high-quality natural astaxanthin from krill and spirulina, which ensures perfect colour formation in guppies and other livebearers.Scope of delivery: Original sealed, airtight and lightproof, recyclable tin with dosage aid inside the lid.Guppies, Black Mollies, Platies, Sailfish, Gambusias, Swordtails and some others belong to the group of live-bearing toothcarps. They all have in common that they give birth to live young and do not lay eggs like most other fish species. In the wild, live-bearing toothcarps eat insects, insect larvae, algae and anything else that can be eaten - they are not choosy. Depending on the habitat, algae with the small animals living in them often form the largest part of their food spectrum.Flakes or granules?Honestly: it's a kind of question of faith! There are only a few arguments for or against the type of food. If you use an automatic feeder like the JBL AutoFood, you MUST choose granulated food, as almost all automatic feeders are only suitable for granules. If an automatic feeder is due on your next holiday, get your fish used to the granules from the feeder RIGHT NOW. Some fish actually find it a bit difficult to switch from granules to flakes or vice versa. Imagine that you have always eaten soft cornflakes and now you are getting wholemeal cereal for the first time.Probiotic or prebiotic?Probiotic foods, such as some types of yoghurt, contain live bacterial cultures to promote health, but only when consumed in large quantities. Such foods, including probiotic fish food, can easily spoil and then have the opposite effect. The positive effect on health is, by the way, quite controversial.Pre- or prebiotics are "substrates that are selectively used by host microorganisms and impart health benefits." Scientists agree that they promote digestion and thus health. With better digestion, less is excreted and thus the water is less polluted, keeping the water cleaner and causing fewer algae problems.
