ZollaBox Baby Recharge: restart your micro worms culture for fry
What is the ZollaBox Baby Recharge?
Official recharge for ZollaBox Baby: a new substrate ready to dilute (identical to the starting substrate included in the ZollaBox) and its wooden stirrer to transfer your culture. It allows you to restart your micro worms breeding for about 1 month without buying a complete set.
Why use a Baby recharge in fry breeding?
- Economical: no need to buy a new box, just restart.
- Continuous: ensures a regular supply of live food for fry, available at any time even in case of unexpected spawning.
- Clean and practical: almost odorless substrate, easy domestic use. It is the same substrate as the one provided with the ZollaBox, with the same properties and quality.
- Time-saving: so much simpler than daily brine shrimp nauplii and just as nutritious for your fry.
Who is the ZollaBox Baby Recharge for?
- Aquarists already equipped with a ZollaBox Baby and wishing to continue their micro worms breeding.
- Breeders of fry (guppies, platys, cichlids, oviparous/viviparous).
- Nano tanks with small fish and fish-rooms that want reliable, economical, and small live food.
- Natural and educational approach to breeding.
Introduction and usage tips
- Preparation of the special pot: keep a few drops of your previous culture (or some micro worms taken with a brush) before emptying and roughly washing the special pot that contained it.
- Prepare the substrate: pour and dilute the dose in 10 ml of water (as the first time) in the special pot using the mixing stick.
- Transfer: add a few drops from the old culture to inoculate the new substrate. That’s all! The breeding restarts for about a month.
- Frequency: plan for one refill each month for continuous production. You can easily buy them in bulk and in advance; they keep very well when sealed.
- Storage (before use): keep dry and well sealed.
FAQ - ZollaBox Baby refill
How long does a refill last?
About 1 month of culture, depending on temperature and density.
What’s the difference from the complete box?
The box contains the special jar, tools, live worm strain, and the full instructions in French. The refill provides substrate + stirrer to restart your culture.
Does the refill include a new strain?
No, it’s unnecessary. You simply restart from your current live culture (one drop is enough).
Can I keep spare refills?
Yes, as long as they are kept closed and dry. Convenient for covering several months or even having a year’s supply without reordering. The refills take up very little space.
Can the refill be used without the original box?
It is designed and dosed for the ZollaBox Baby and its special jar. Using it outside the kit is perfectly possible, but you might prefer the special micro worms substrate available in the shop under "food and supplements."
