Important data
Product description & details
In nature, many of our aquarium fish, amphibians and invertebrates feed on small insects and their larvae as well as other small aquatic animals. Giving live food represents a very natural and optimal diet for these species.
Tubifex are ideal for feeding small to large aquarium animals. Since they sink quickly to the ground, they are mainly eaten by ground-feeding animals. The protein- and vitamin-rich Tubifex, which are part of the Oligochaeta family and are completely aquatic, have a relatively high fat content, which is why they should be fed in moderation and ideally alternately with other, less fatty types of live food. The 1.5 to 9 cm large worms are ideal for not too small to large fish, crabs, amphibians such as axolotls or newts and are also often eaten by shrimp – especially the large arm shrimp (Macrobrachium), which have a primarily carnivorous diet.
Our live food is delivered every Wednesday (rarely Thursday) and can be shipped “express” the same day. For larger order quantities, shipping might be delayed by 1 week.
