(daphnia breeding kit for medium-sized fish) - instructions in French included
This Zollabox provides the supplies and guidance you need to raise healthy, natural food for all your fish except the smallest species (generally under 3 cm).
A step-by-step kit that makes daphnia breeding accessible to everyone!
What do our fish eat in the wild?
Mostly daphnia, which are at the top of the freshwater plankton food chain. These small crustaceans, also called "water fleas," are a staple food for most fish in the wild.
Adult daphnia are a treat for medium-sized fish (between 3 and 10 cm), from guppies to young goldfish. Bettas love to chase them, and they contain everything a fish needs to live and grow.
This makes daphnia the ideal natural food for aquariums or ponds.
Raising daphnia is easier than you might think, as long as you can dedicate a container of at least 10 liters to them (a simple bucket, for example).
But it can often take some trial and error when you don't know how to obtain a starter culture, feed them, handle them, sort them, or harvest them.
The Zollabox Poisson M is the result of decades of experience in natural fish feeding by Mattier.
It finally makes it easy to enjoy the benefits of this ideal natural food for medium-sized fish, with the best chance of success.
The Zollabox Poisson M is a unique kit that provides all the guidance and equipment you need to easily succeed with this useful breeding project.
This kit of course includes your first live daphnia, which will form your starter culture, as well as a complete, easy-to-follow guide that will lead you step by step.
A dose of fresh natural plankton is included to feed the culture for the first few days.
A special food is provided to keep feeding your culture regularly.
You can then make your first harvests using the net with appropriately sized mesh. The ultra-clear sorting cube lets you select the largest or smallest daphnia according to your needs, which you can then collect using the included syringe.
Finally, the kit includes a magnifying glass to observe your daphnia or show them to your children.
If you start your culture in a bucket and your population grows very large, feel free to move it to a larger container in the garden or on a balcony! And if, for one reason or another, you lose your daphnia, you can always find more on our website without having to buy a new box.
Once you've used up all your special food, there's no need to buy another Zollabox Poissons M either.
Simply use the Zollabox Poisson M refill to keep feeding your culture.
