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


Chlorella vulgaris is a single-celled green alga that can be fed directly or used for your own breeding.
For example, put the starter culture in a 5-liter container and aerate 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 warm.
In the refrigerator, the shelf life is well over 20 weeks.

 

Chlorella vulgaris is a single-celled green alga and one of many species within the genus Chlorella. This alga 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 alga with a spherical or oval shape. Each cell is surrounded by a cell wall.

  2. Photosynthesis: Like other green algae, Chlorella vulgaris performs photosynthesis. It converts 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 researched in some environmental applications, particularly regarding its potential uses in biological air filters.
