Products Introduction
Aqua Plus® Freeze Dried Gammarus stands out as a superior dietary choice for both freshwater and marine species. Sourced from high-quality Gammarus pulex (freshwater shrimp), this product undergoes an advanced freeze-drying process to retain maximum nutritional value, ensuring your fish receive a natural, protein-rich, and highly palatable meal.
Designed for discus, bettas, cichlids, goldfish, shrimp, and other carnivorous or omnivorous species, this food promotes vibrant coloration, robust growth, and optimal digestion. Unlike conventional dried foods, freeze-dried Gammarus maintains its structural integrity while being free from preservatives, artificial additives, and harmful pathogens.
Why Choose Freeze-Dried Gammarus
Freeze-Drying vs. Other Processing Methods
Unlike heat-dried or live foods, freeze-drying preserves 98% of natural nutrients without degradation from high heat. It eliminates parasites and bacteria, making it safer than live or frozen alternatives. The process extends shelf life without chemical preservatives and maintains crisp texture, encouraging natural hunting behaviors.
Safe & Convenient
No rehydration needed, though soaking can help shy eaters. The product floats briefly before sinking, accommodating surface and mid-water feeders. It is non-clouding and does not foul water like pellets or flakes.
