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.
