(daphnia breeding kit for medium-sized fish) - instructions in French included
This Zollabox provides the materials and advice needed 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 the basis of the diet of most fish in the wild.
Adult daphnia are a treat for medium-sized fish (between 3 and 10 cm), ranging from guppies to young goldfish. Bettas love hunting 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 less difficult than you might think, provided you can dedicate a container of at least 10 liters to them (a simple bucket, for example).
But we often have to learn through trial and error, not knowing 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 the natural feeding of fish by Mattier.
It finally makes it easy to give medium-sized fish the benefits of this ideal natural food, with the best chances of success.
The Zollabox Poisson M is a unique kit that provides all the advice and equipment you need to succeed easily with this highly useful breeding project.
This kit naturally contains your first live daphnia, which will form your starter culture, as well as complete, straightforward instructions to guide you step by step.
A dose of fresh natural plankton is included to feed the culture during the first few days.
Special food is provided to continue feeding your culture regularly.
You can then carry out your first harvests using the net with appropriately sized mesh. The ultra-transparent sorting cube allows you to choose the largest or smallest daphnia according to your needs, which you can collect using the included syringe.
Finally, the kit contains a magnifying glass for observing your daphnia or showing them to your children.
If you start your culture in a bucket and your population becomes very large, feel free to move it to the garden or a balcony later, into a larger container! 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.
When all your special food has been used, there is also no need to buy a new Zollabox Poissons M.
Simply use the Zollabox Poisson M refill to continue feeding your culture.
