Bloodworms with Spirulina & Garlic – Frozen Food with Functional Benefits

Red mosquito larvae (Chironomus sp.) are a staple in freshwater fishkeeping. Accepted instinctively by almost all species, they form a reliable foundation for a varied, species-appropriate diet. Ocean Nutrition takes this proven base further by combining it with two purposefully chosen ingredients: spirulina and garlic. The result is a functional frozen food that goes beyond basic nutrition.

Amino Acid Profile: Protein That Delivers

At 54.5% protein on dry weight, these bloodworms offer an exceptionally rich nutritional profile for a frozen food. The natural amino acid spectrum of Chironomus larvae supports muscle development, recovery and overall vitality – relevant both as a staple feed and for targeted conditioning ahead of breeding. A moderate fat content of 5.5% makes it well-suited for regular feeding without overloading the diet.

Garlic: Feeding Response and Gut Health in One

Garlic serves a dual purpose in this formula. As a natural attractant, it noticeably increases feeding response – particularly useful with newly introduced or stress-sensitive fish that initially ignore food. At the same time, the sulphur compounds present (allicin and related substances) deliver antibacterial and antiparasitic benefits in the digestive tract, without any synthetic additives.

Spirulina: Pigmentation, Immunity, Phytonutrients

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is well established in the aquarium hobby – and for good reason. The algae provides a broad spectrum of carotenoids, phycocyanins and natural antioxidants that strengthen the immune system and enhance natural body colouration. In colour-intensive species such as rainbowfish, killifish or cichlids, the effect becomes clearly visible with regular feeding.

Flash-Frozen: Quality All the Way to the Tank

Flash-freezing immediately after processing is the key quality factor in frozen food. It preserves nutrients, enzymes and bioactive compounds at the level of fresh raw materials, while reliably preventing the introduction of pathogens into the aquarium. The result is a hygienically safe food with minimal impact on water chemistry and quality – a critical point especially in discus and reef setups.

Suitable For

Angelfish, discus, rainbowfish, loaches, barbs, cichlids, killifish and many other carnivorous and omnivorous freshwater species – in short, the majority of fish kept in the Hobby.
