ALL LIVE / FROZEN FOODS SENT 1st CLASS! CHILLER BLOCKS USED DURING HOTTER WEATHER / SUMMER!

Live Daphnia is one of the most popular live foods available.

Daphnia are filter feeders and can be very beneficial in ponds and aquariums as they help to clear green water, as well as providing a tasty meal for most freshwater fish.

Feed in conjunction with your regular dry foods to provide your fish with the added nutrition and proteins they need for good health, colour and growth.

They have the added advantage of generally being able to stay alive in the aquarium until they are eaten.

Daphina are often used in School and College Science Lessons to test for the effects of Caffeine on there heart Rates as well. Check out our Education Packs, I'm sure you'll find them facinating.

We get regular fresh deliveries of live daphnia, bloodworm, tubifex worms and brine shrimp every Thursday, and all livefood orders are dispatched that day 1st class.

Each bag measures approximately 20cm tall. They're filled half water and half air, with a standard amount of livefood in each bag. Sizes of foods and amounts may vary from bag to bag and during the warmer and colder seasons.  A typical bag can contain around 100-200 daphnia.

Please note: standard weight postage for this item covers up to 6 bags of mixed live food.

During peak summer months (July and August), where the average temperatures around the country are above 25°C, we may withhold delivery of live and frozen foods. This is due to the heat and postal service holts, delays and changes that are common during this period where we cannot guarantee live or frozen deliveries arriving in fresh condition. Deliveries may continue once the temperatures have returned to normal or are more favourable.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
