RG Complete
RGcomplete is a super-concentrated microalgal-based premium quality feed and enrichment for rotifers, daphnia and other filter-feeding
invertebrates. It has been sized especially for Breeders, Aquarists, and Propagators and includes both a pH buffer and ClorAm-
X® (ammonia neutralizer). It has a long refrigerated shelf life of at least 6 months.
RG Complete
- Refrigerated, not frozen
- Includes ClorAm-X (ammonia control and a pH buffer)
- Clean, high yield rotifer feed
- Maximizes levels of DHA, EPA and ARA
- Stand-alone feed or in combination with one of our enrichment products
- Suitable for a wide range of zooplankton
- Fully intact cells
- Cell size range 1.5 – 12 μm
- Refrigerate : 33-42°F / 1-5°C
- Do not dillute for storage
- Ingredients : Seawater, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Hydroxymethanesulfonate, Marine Microalgae, Citric acid, Ascorbic Acid, Larixinic Acid, Sodium Alginate
- Feed 11 ml per day per 1 million rotifers to be harvested. For example: Population of 5 million to be harvested at 20% per day, or population of 2.5 million to be harvested at 40% per day, etc.
- Maximum production requires higher density cultures, which require more frequent feedings. For best results feed at least every 3 hours using a pump and timer

Produits apparentés
Rotifers
Pure cultures of a strain of Brachionus plicatilis (L-type) rotifers with a typical lorica length of about 160 µm. This species is euryhaline, capable of thriving in salinities of 5-40 ppt.
Daphnia
Pure cultures of a strain of Daphnia magna with a length range of 300 µm to 2mm. This species lives in freshwater, but is capable of thriving in salinities up to 5 ppt. It is available in quantities of 2 thousand, concentrated, and packaged into “breathable” bags.
It is high-quality zooplankton for aquatic model regimens such as zebrafish. Please contact us for more information on the complete protocol for cultivating this specific Daphnia.
Compact Culture System for Zooplankton
Live zooplankton such as rotifers and Artemia are essential first-feeds for the larvae of many fish (for example, Clownfish). The APBreed Compact Culture System (CCS) is designed to make a benchtop-scale culture of zooplankton easy and reliable.
The CCS combines a conveniently-sized 5-gallon bucket with a custom-made fitting that incorporates an aerator and a particulate waste trap. Aeration provides oxygenation and water circulation that draws particulate wastes into the trap (floss).
Daily maintenance of the culture (aside from feeding and harvesting) requires only 5 minutes to flush the wastes from the trap and brush the interior surfaces of the bucket. The CCS is sturdy and easily transported, and includes a flexible translucent cover that isolates the culture from contamination.
