Products Description
Aqua Plus® Freeze Dried Krill are sourced from Antarctic waters, with primary screening completed on board immediately after catch to avoid quality decline during transport. The freeze-drying process removes moisture at low temperatures, keeping protein structure and fatty acid composition relatively intact. Unlike hot-air drying, freeze-dried krill rehydrate to a form and texture close to the fresh state, allowing fish to recognise the food source through smell and texture. No preservatives or artificial colourings are added during processing. The colour and smell of the krill show minimal change before and after drying. FD Krill maintain structural integrity during processing, with breakage rates lower than comparable products.
Freeze Dried Antarctic Krill offer crude protein between 60% and 70%, with an amino acid profile covering the daily needs of both carnivorous and omnivorous fish. The form in which Omega-3 fatty acids exist in krill matches fish requirements more closely than most plant-based sources, requiring no additional modification. The antioxidant properties of astaxanthin assist in colour maintenance, with carotenoids deposited gradually in scales and skin through metabolism. This process requires consistent feeding over a period of time before results become visible. For keepers focused on colour performance, Antarctic Krill Fish Food is not for short-term boosting but for providing a stable supply of raw materials for colour maintenance. Freeze Dried Krill Bulk should be portioned based on what fish finish within two to three minutes, once or twice daily.

FAQ
Q: What is the protein content of these freeze dried krill and how does it compare to other feeds?
A: Crude protein ranges from 60% to 70% on a dry matter basis, significantly higher than most commercial flakes (30-40%) and comparable to high-quality frozen feeds. This supports rapid growth, muscle development, and breeding condition.
Q: What are the packaging options for bulk freeze dried krill orders?
A: Standard bulk packaging: 50g/500ml PET jars (56 pcs/ctn) and 100g/1000ml PET jars (40 pcs/ctn). OEM orders support custom jar sizes, private label printing, and stand-up pouch options. MOQ applies for custom packaging.
Q: How should freeze dried krill be stored to maintain freshness?
A: Store unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shelf life: 24 months. After opening, seal jar tightly and use within 2-3 months. No refrigeration required.
Q: What makes freeze dried krill different from live or frozen krill?
A: Freeze drying eliminates parasites and bacteria, offers longer shelf life without refrigeration, and preserves natural protein, fatty acid structure, and pigmentation. Rehydration restores texture close to fresh state.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for Freeze Dried Krill Bulk orders?
A: MOQ starts from 10 cartons for standard products. OEM custom packaging requires separate MOQ negotiation. Samples available with sample fee refundable upon order confirmation.
