It is a very good food for small aquarium fish, Triops nauplii, fairy shrimp, clam shrimp, daphnia, moina, and even dwarf shrimp.
When breeding Triops, Triops nauplii have a much higher chance of survival!


Chlorella vulgaris is a single-celled green algae that can be fed directly or used for your own cultivation.
For this, for example, place the culture in a 5-liter container and aerate it well. As food, add about 5ml of mineral
flower fertilizer weekly. However, I recommend an F/2 phyto plankton fertilizer. The container should be around 25 degrees Celsius.
In the refrigerator, it can be kept for well over 20 weeks.

 

Chlorella vulgaris is a single-celled green algae and one of many species within the genus Chlorella. This algae species is known for its rapid reproduction and its ability to photosynthesize. Here are some characteristics and uses of Chlorella vulgaris:

  1. Morphology: Chlorella vulgaris is a single-celled algae with a spherical or oval shape. Each cell is surrounded by a cell wall.

  2. Photosynthesis: Like other green algae, Chlorella vulgaris performs photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide and sunlight into oxygen and organic compounds.

  3. Nutrient Content: Chlorella is rich in nutrients. It contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Due to its high protein content, Chlorella is sometimes used as a dietary supplement.

  4. Chlorophyll: It contains high amounts of chlorophyll, which gives it a green color. Chlorophyll has antioxidant properties and is valued as a dietary supplement.

  5. Environmental Application: Due to its ability to absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, Chlorella vulgaris is also being investigated in some environmental applications, particularly regarding its potential uses in biological air filters.
