Frequently Asked Questions

What fish can eat Gamma Frozen Krill Superba?

Krill Superba is suited better to larger fish, due to its slightly larger size. We would recommend it for fish of at least 10cm in length as they are most likely to have mouths large enough to eat this food. Some suckermouth catfish will enjoy krill, but keep in mind the natural diet of the species you’re feeding. Largely herbivorous species like tangs and malawi cichlids will enjoy the odd treat of krill, but won’t necessarily get much nutritional value out of it as their digestive systems are not designed for such high protein content. For smaller fish, this krill can be shopped up into smaller pieces

Is Krill Superba a complete food for fish?

Krill Superba are great, but fish require a more varied diet. All fish are omnivorous to some extent, so they need fibre and other key nutrients to remain healthy. In nature, many carnivorous species would receive these nutrients via their prey and what the prey had eaten. This is something that reptile keepers in particular try to achieve through “gut loading”, which is the practice of feeding quality food to insects that are intended to be offered as food. For fish, it’s a lot more simple. Use krill superba and other frozen food as part of a varied diet with flakes, pellets and other nutrient rich fish foods that are fortified with the vitamins and nutrients normal fish require.

How often should I feed Gamma krill superba?

Most aquarists feed krill and other frozen foods 2-3 times per week. as a treat or to supplement the diet of their fish. The natural diet of your fish should be taken into account and frequency reduced for fish that don’t necessarily eat a lot of meat in the wild.

Is frozen food better than live?

Each have their own merits, but frozen food tend to have more benefits than live. It does work out cheaper to buy a block of frozen krill than to buy several individual bags that are mostly just water. Frozen foods are gamma irradiated and will not carry pathogens, parasites and unwanted hitchhikers, whilst live foods do have a small risk, especially if you tip the whole bag in instead of discarding the excess water.

Is krill good for breeding fish?

Absolutely. One of the simplest things fishkeepers can do to encourage breeding is to increase the amount of high protein frozen foods they offer. This boost of protein and fats will bring most fish into breeding condition and even encourage better colouration as a result.

Is Krill Superba better than Brineshrimp?

Neither is necessarily better, but krill is more nutritious, higher in protein and contains astaxanthin. However, brineshrimp are smaller and more widely accepted by all community fish.
