Gamma Frozen Cyclops 250g

Gamma Frozen Cyclops 250g is a larger flat pack of tiny frozen Cyclops, ideal for small tropical and coldwater fish, juvenile fish and species with small mouths. The generous 250g format is particularly useful for larger collections and fishkeepers who feed frozen Cyclops regularly.

Cyclops are tiny freshwater crustaceans that provide a naturally small food item. Their size makes them especially useful where larger frozen foods such as bloodworm, mysis or brine shrimp may be difficult for fish to manage.

Frozen Cyclops 250g for Small Aquarium Fish

Because Cyclops are naturally tiny, they can be eaten by a wide range of smaller aquarium species. Once thawed and introduced to the aquarium, the individual food particles disperse through the water, encouraging fish to forage and pick off pieces rather than having to tackle one large food item.

This makes Cyclops particularly useful in community aquariums containing small fish or mixed sizes of livestock.

Which Fish Can Eat Frozen Cyclops?

Cyclops can be offered to a wide variety of freshwater aquarium fish, including:

• Tetras
• Rasboras
• Guppies and other livebearers
• Danios
• Small barbs
• Dwarf cichlids
• Discus
• Small gouramis
• Juvenile fish large enough to accept frozen foods
• Other small-mouthed tropical and coldwater species

Larger fish will also eat Cyclops, but their tiny size means a more substantial frozen food may be more practical for sizeable specimens.

Why Choose Cyclops Instead of Larger Frozen Foods?

The main advantage is size.

Bloodworm, brine shrimp and mysis can all be excellent aquarium foods, but individual food items can be too large for particularly small fish. Cyclops provides much smaller particles that are easier for tiny mouths to manage.

It’s therefore a useful food to keep available alongside larger frozen foods, allowing feeding to be matched more closely to the size of the fish.

Why Choose the 250g Flat Pack?

The Gamma 250g pack is particularly useful if you feed Cyclops regularly or maintain several aquariums.

Rather than buying multiple small blister packs, the larger flat pack provides a more economical supply while still allowing you to break off an appropriate portion for each feeding.

It’s a particularly sensible format for breeders, fish rooms, larger community aquariums and anyone keeping significant numbers of small fish.

Gamma Irradiated Frozen Fish Food

Gamma frozen foods are gamma irradiated as part of their production process. TMC uses this treatment to prevent pathogens being passed to aquarium livestock while retaining the convenience of frozen natural foods.

The food is also rapidly packed, sealed and frozen to preserve its quality.

How to Feed Frozen Cyclops

Break off an appropriate amount from the flat pack and thaw before feeding if preferred. Introduce a small quantity at a time so the Cyclops can be consumed throughout the aquarium without excessive food settling uneaten.

Feed only as much as the fish will consume promptly and remove significant uneaten food where practical.

Cyclops is best incorporated into a varied feeding programme alongside suitable complete foods and other appropriately sized frozen foods.
