Pure micronized spirulina: versatile natural food for shrimp and microfauna
What is micronized spirulina?
Ultra-fine powder made from 100% pure spirulina (a natural cyanobacterium), with no additives, designed for aquariums. Micronization makes it easier to disperse in water and assimilate by shrimp and microfauna (daphnia, ostracods, infusoria).
A practical and nutritious alternative to fresh phytoplankton.
Why use it in a natural aquarium?
- Rich and complete: proteins, pigments, minerals, trace elements, vitamins... Spirulina supports growth, vitality, and coloration.
- Versatile: perfect for shrimp and microfauna (daphnia, ostracods, infusoria).
- Practical: rehydrates in a few seconds into an "algae juice" ready to distribute.
- Economical: a very small pinch is enough. Size suited to aquarium use.
Who is pure micronized spirulina for?
- Daphnia and microfauna breeders.
- Aquarium hobbyists with tropical fish and shrimp, using low-tech or conventional setups.
- Educational projects requiring natural food as an alternative to fresh phytoplankton.
Usage tips
- Rehydrate: add a small pinch to a small amount of water, wait 2–3 min for it to become fully moistened, then mix. Distribute the resulting solution.
- Dosing: use micro-doses regularly rather than too much at once (to avoid pollution).
- Cultures: an excellent additive for infusoria (paddy rice), daphnia, ostracods, and Blackworm, which feed on it.
- Storage: keep dry, tightly closed, and protected from light.
FAQ - Micronized spirulina
How does it differ from "classic" spirulina?
The micronized version disperses perfectly and is suitable for microfauna, shrimp, and fry, whereas coarser forms settle.
Is it suitable for shrimp?
Yes: it is an excellent, highly appreciated plant-based staple (distribute small amounts regularly).
Can it be used as a supplement?
Yes, spirulina is an important ingredient if you prepare homemade rations for your fish, invertebrates, and shrimp.
How long does it keep?
It keeps for a long time when stored dry and protected from light. Ideally, use within one year after opening.
Additional information
- Type: 100% pure natural spirulina in micronized form.
- Form: extremely fine powder.
- Use: practical alternative to fresh phytoplankton, as food or a supplement for various cultures: daphnia, ostracods, Blackworm, etc.
- Tip: feed regularly. Keep tightly closed, dry, and protected from light.
- Packaging: 25 g jar of pure micronized spirulina
- Recommendation: for daphnia, rehydrate before distribution to delay sedimentation. The spirulina will thus remain suspended for longer.
