Rotifers – Zooplankton for Reef Tanks and Larval Rearing

Rotifers (Rotifera) are among the most important zooplankton organisms in marine ecosystems. As a natural link between microscopic algae and larger marine animals, they sit at the base of many food chains – and that is precisely what makes them so valuable in the aquarium. Ocean Nutrition delivers this natural food directly to the tank in flash-frozen form.

Tiny, but Nutrient-Dense

At 55.5% protein on dry weight and a fat content of 9.5%, rotifers offer remarkable nutritional density for their size. At just 0.2 cm, they are often the only food with the right particle size for many filter feeders and fish larvae. Their natural composition mirrors what corals, anemones and larvae feed on in the wild – a decisive advantage over synthetic alternatives.

Essential for Filter Feeders in the Marine Tank

Corals, anemones, clams, sponges and tunicates depend on zooplankton of an appropriate size. Rotifers meet this requirement precisely. Their natural buoyancy ensures even distribution throughout the water column – every animal in the tank gets access without the need for targeted spot-feeding. Particularly in reef tanks with sensitive filter feeders, this is a considerable practical advantage.

Larval Rearing Without Live Cultures

In the breeding of marine fish species, rotifers are the classic first step in feeding freshly hatched larvae. The particle size is right, the movement of the organisms triggers the hunting instinct – and with Ocean Nutrition Rotifers, the time-consuming maintenance of live cultures becomes unnecessary. Flash-frozen for maximum quality, they offer a hygienically safe alternative without compromising nutritional value.

Simple to Use

Thaw, dose into the tank, done. No specialist equipment, no daily culture maintenance, no risk of introducing pathogens through live material. The natural buoyancy of the rotifers takes care of even distribution in the tank automatically.

Suitable For

Marine fish larvae, corals, anemones and plankton-feeding reef invertebrates – in short: everything in the marine tank that depends on the finest food particles.
