Nutritional Powerhouse for Your Aquarium

Apocyclops copepods are the perfect live feed solution for aquarists looking to enhance the health and vibrancy of their aquatic life. Slightly larger than Tisbe copepods yet smaller than Tigriopus copepods, these medium-sized organisms are known for their characteristic jerking motion in the water column. This natural movement actively attracts smaller fish, encouraging consistent feeding behavior and ensuring optimal nutrition.

Nurtured on an 11-strain blend of phytoplankton and fed twice daily, our Apocyclops copepods are shipped with live nanoalgae in each bottle, guaranteeing they arrive in peak condition. Female Apocyclops lay eggs every 4 to 6 days, making them an excellent choice for aquarists interested in cultivating their own sustainable live feed.
