Fish Food
Liquid and dry feeds for fish as well as equipment to produce liquid feed from stock.
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.
Zebrafish Handfeeders
The Iwaki Aquatic Zebrafish Handfeeders were specifically designed to accurately dispense the sensitive Gemma 300 feed – and works with many other dry feeds in the marketplace within the 100 – 500 micron size range.
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.
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.
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.
GSL Artemia Cysts
Ocean Nutrition GSL Artemia Cysts are harvested from the surface of the Great Salt Lake in Utah (USA). After processing, a quality assesment is performed. Each harvest is subjected to extensive fingerprinting to categorize all important characteristics and parameters such as hatching and enrichment kinetics, separation, decapsulation, fatty acid profile, and biometrics. Based on the result of this fingerprint, Ocean Nutrition grades and offers the Artemia Cysts that are best suited for fish and shrimp hatcheries.
GEMMA Micro ZF
GEMMA Micro is dry feed for zebrafish. GEMMA Micro is formulated with a high percentage of soluble hydrolyzed marine proteins, HUFAs, phospholipids, and algae, resulting in each particle exhibiting a striking green color. GEMMA Micro is a highly stable feed exhibiting excellent physical characteristics.
FishGun D2 Solid Feed Dispenser
The FishGun D2 is a semi-automatic diet delivery device. It is designed to facilitate the feeding of aquatic animals such as zebrafish in research facilities. Created for precision dispensing of different types and sizes of dry powdered and granulated diets.
The systems 75 ml diet dispensing tube allows precision dispensing of solid feed from 75µm up to 600µm – in size. The tube has a translucent wall for clear visibility, is resistant to alcohols and light organic solvents, and is stable from -80°C to +121°C.
The FishGun D2 ensures faster, more accurate, and reproducible feed dosage by the means of vibrations. Its ergonomic design reduces fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders and reduces technician time spent on feeding.
With the use of the integrated RFID scanner, this system identifies different tanks and delivers the right amount of feed required according to the number of fish housed in each tank.
The FishGun’s cradle and feed dispensing tube are compatible with all commercially available zebrafish tank housing systems known on the market; Iwaki Aquatic, Aquaneering, Pentair, Techniplast.
FishGun L3 Liquid Feed Dispenser
The FishGun L3 is a semi-automatic diet delivery device. It is designed to facilitate the feeding of aquatic animals such as zebrafish in research facilities. Created for precision dispensing of different types and sizes of live food such as rotifers, artemia and daphnia
