Green Water is a live starter culture of single-celled algae, perfect for seeding your own sustainable supply. It is widely regarded as one of the best first foods for fry and an excellent live feed for filter-feeding invertebrates such as daphnia, copepods, and shrimp larvae.
Key Benefits:
-
Ideal first food for fry too small to eat powdered or dry foods.
-
Supports the natural feeding behaviour of fry and filter feeders.
-
Provides a continuous, nutrient-rich food source when cultured properly.
How to Maintain Your Green Water Culture:
-
Keep in a clear container with gentle aeration to prevent settling.
-
Place under consistent light (indirect sunlight or artificial aquarium/grow lights).
-
Add a small amount of liquid fertiliser or nutrient source to keep the algae growing.
-
Harvest by removing a portion of the culture and replacing with fresh dechlorinated water.
-
Never harvest more than half at once to avoid crashing the culture.
Important Notes:
This product is sold as a starter culture. With proper care, you can establish your own long-term Green Water supply to feed fry and invertebrates whenever needed.
