San Francisco Bay Brand® Reef Plankton is a highly nutritious frozen single-ingredient food made from red Calanus plankton (Calanus finmarchicus). Designed specifically for reef aquariums, it can feed marine fish, corals, and invertebrates simultaneously, making it an excellent addition to a varied reef feeding program.
Calanus plankton consists of copepods, copepodites, and copepod nauplii naturally found in cold marine waters. Because they graze on marine phytoplankton, Calanus copepods contain high levels of important polyunsaturated fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, as well as carotenoids that provide natural pigments.
Reef Plankton helps stimulate appetite and is eagerly consumed by finicky marine fish such as Butterflyfish and Anthias. Its nutritional profile helps promote proper growth, support natural coloration, and maintain high energy levels and vigor in fish and invertebrates.
Recommended for
Anemones, Corals, Scallops, Shrimp, Anthias, Butterflyfish, Clownfish, Gobies, Mandarins, Pygmy Angelfish, filter feeders, and other reef inhabitants. Calanus is larger than Cyclops, so it may be too large for some coral species.
Ingredients
Red Calanus plankton, water, carrageenan
Instructions
Feed often, but only what can be consumed in three minutes. Remove any uneaten food. Never overfeed. No thawing or rinsing required. Keep frozen.
Important
Microwaving or thawing in hot water is not recommended, as this breaks down the nutrients contained in frozen fish food.
Contains: Copepods, copepodites and copepod nauplii from the Calanus species, a much larger copepod (compared to our Cyclops copepods) inhabiting cold marine waters. Calanus are an important member of the zooplankton community and as such form a prey species for a wide variety of marine organisms, from fish larvae to plankton sieving whales. Due to their grazing on marine phytoplankton Calanus copepods contain very high levels of the (for fish) important polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA & DHA as well as various carotenoids (natural pigments). Calanus form an excellent food source for feeding marine fish fry, smaller marine fish and marine invertebrates. They might be too big though for feeding some corals.
