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 facilitates dispersion in water and assimilation 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 promotes 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. Format suitable for aquariums.
Who is micronized pure spirulina intended for?
- Daphnia and microfauna breeders.
- Aquarists (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 little water, wait 2–3 minutes for it to rehydrate, then mix. Distribute the resulting solution.
- Dosage: micro-doses, regularly rather than too much at once (prevents pollution).
- Cultures: excellent additive for infusoria (paddy rice), daphnia, ostracods, and Blackworm, which feed on it.
- Storage: dry, tightly closed, 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: an excellent, highly appreciated plant-based staple (feed small amounts at a time, but regularly).
Can it be used as a supplement?
Yes, spirulina is an important ingredient if you prepare homemade rations yourself for your fish, invertebrates, and shrimp.
Shelf life?
Long shelf life if kept 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.
- Presentation: 25 g jar of pure micronized spirulina
- Recommendation: for daphnia, rehydrate before feeding to delay sedimentation. The spirulina will thus remain suspended for longer.
